Well, all sorts of tragedy of the commons things exist. If you think you've got one that could turn a commons into a resource to be manipulated, and can convince people, there will be a dozen investors knocking at your door!
It's been done a thousand times before and not only that but there are whole philosophical movements arguing that it's a moral imperative.

Tragedy-of-the-commons-for-profit has been done quite profitably -- see swoopo.com until quite recently.
Yes, I agree completely. Taking a commons and turning it into a tragedy is a perfectly viable business model for many things.
