Description: "The original slacker's dream of free everything has been realized by the Internet - but along with it came the slacker's nightmare of never getting paid for one's creativity. 'Freeloading' seeks - and to a large extent succeeds - to wrestle with the collapse of the commons and the possibilities for a renewed social contract." - Douglas Rushkoff.
