How do we support digital content? How can we foster a digital commons that doesn’t rely on the unwaged immaterial labor of those who produce it? The following is a set of reflections and proposal for a platform that I believe is an answer to this question.

We are accustomed to regarding open platforms as synonymous with greater freedom and innovation. But as we have seen with the rise of Google, Facebook and other tech giants, open platforms that are dominated by large corporations are only “free” within the boundaries of market norms and the given business models. Yes, open platforms provide many valuable services at no (monetary) cost to users. But when some good or service is offered for at no cost, it really means that the user is the product. In this case, our personal data, attention, social attitudes lifestyle behavior, and even our digital identities, are the commodity that platform owners are seeking to “own.”

A digital common law can assist in the mechanisms for dispute resolution resulting from “smart contract” for the sale of goods. (good definition within link)
