[p2p-research] where freeloading fails

[Tomas Rawlings]

Very interesting article - have scheduled a blog post on it already!

"In a nutshell, Czaran and Hoekstra have shown that “/both cooperation 
and the associated communication system can evolve, spread and persist 
in the population/“. So being a good citizen pays off, and cooperation 
actually increases the fitness of the cooperative strains as opposed to 
the non-cooperative ones"
