I wouldn't say that 'afraid' is the correct word for this. But apparently, preventing widespread freeloading is a benefit to all Gnutella users, including those who would normally be freeloaders. If someone decides to take that benefit away, the cycle starts over, and the network will be diluted with 'empty' nodes again.
But cracking in general: whatever tickles your fancy
