David Bollier's new book Viral Spiral: How the Commoners Built a Digital Republic of Their Own traces the origins of free software, Creative Commons licenses and the online sharing economy. At the Berkman Center Bollier examined how commoners assert differing notions of freedom, community boundaries, social norms and reliance on law to protect the integrity of their shared resources.
