English term or phrase: Free Rider
Context: German researchers instructed volunteers to play a game in which they could contribute to a pot of cash-redeemable tokens, which paid dividends to everyone regardless of who contributed. In one group, subjects could pay a token to punish free riders who did not ante up, making the freeloaders lose tokens; the other group forbade punishment.

Explanation:
:) O termo não é traduzido. Corresponde a "carona", pessoa que se beneficia de algo sem ter feito nada para tal.

Não se traduz porque a "galera" da área aceita o termo original, rejeitando qualquer tradução - o mesmo acontece com milhares de termos na informática.
