The question is whether it is the kind of community that should exist, that you want to be a part of. And the answer is - no, it is not.

The primary practical benefit of a common, strictly enforced set of rules is that it solves a great many of coordination problems (think prisoner's dilemma, tragedy of the commons). The problem isn't usually with a single greedy individual who wants to profit off the group; it's with the (apparently) natural human tendency to optimize for one's own benefit first. It's fine when one person does it, but when everyone does it, everyone loses. So a set of enforced common rules is a thing that keeps the group both from getting overrun by freeloaders and by self-destructing because of the usual human stupidity.
