There's a quote attributed to the Prophet Mohammed:
The Prophet, peace and blessing upon him, said: "Help your brother, whether he be an oppressor or one of the oppressed." Some said "O Messenger of God, we help him if he is oppressed; but how can we help him if he is an oppressor?" The Prophet said, "By stopping him."
How I see this is, rewarding unethical behaviour is not actually good, in a non-immediate sense of "good", for the people behaving unethically. It's bad for them. It's terrible for them. Even if you don't believe in a soul that is being damaged by it, letting or encouraging people to hurt other people is at minimum going to result in them having worse and worse relationships with others and more and more chances of harmful consequences.
