kaal:claim:3782198-010
The incentive design in which originators of TCP requests pay the bill failed to solve web hosting costs, because the Tragedy of the Commons asserted itself and porn and pirated file sharing, sometimes set up by the ISPs themselves to game the payment design, consumed available bandwidth.
Source quote, verbatim
This didn't solve the problem, as naturally the Tragedy of the Commons9 asserted itself. Porn sites and pirated file sharing (often set up by the ISPs themselves to game the payment design10) quickly used up any available bandwidth.
