According to the article "Lifeboat Ethics," the idea that one person taking more than his or her fair share of something can ruin the system for everyone is called THE TRAGEDY OF THE COMMONS.

It is brought about when the right to use a common resource is not matched by the corresponding responsibility to protect said resource.
