Bad karma.  At the risk of adding another analogy, look at the
countries that refuse to join the global economy.  Unless a
network is ready to be self-sufficient, playing nice probably is
a good idea.

I don't know if you've noticed, but the internet is based on an economy now,
it's not a free resource provided by foundations and higher education.
Without customers it shuts down.

Just ask any of the ISP's who aren't around any more.
