What Wikipedia says

Commodification is the process of transforming inalienable, free, or gifted things (objects, services, ideas, nature, personal information, people) into commodities, or objects for sale. It has a connotation of losing an inherent quality or social relationship when something is integrated by a capitalist marketplace.
