God no, as can be seen with the DNS, free-market leads directly to

I guess opportunity cost doesn't factor in to your analysis?


It leads directly to a tragedy of the commons where 90% of the resources

get extorted.
Whether or not what you describe would happen, it's certainly not a tragedy of the commons. Google should help clear up your confusion.
