The notion that for-profit (as opposed to non-profit) is bad, speaks only to a lack of understanding of what being a non-profit actually means these days. It doesn't mean they give away free stuff, or that they aren't making any money. It means that they aren't paying taxes, allowing others who do pay taxes to foot their tax burden, and that they call their profits surplus. Hazelden, for example, doesn't give away free books or videos, has obscene amounts of cash, and is a non-profit entity.
