There's obviously several people with different matters of opinion. At the end of the day, I still help my friends and I don't charge them for it, but my time is valuable, so for something of a business nature, I wouldn't just give any ol' chum off the street a shot if I didn't know who they were, what they could do, or what their background was like. That would be taking a shot in the dark and not many people would be willing to take that sort of risk.
Now, if someone had a flat tire on the side of the road, was homeless and needed my help, or something that required a charitable heart, I'd be the first to stop and help in a heart beat without thinking about what would be in it for me.
So even though some of us are wondering about the ethics and moral issues of certain business models, I have one thing to say to you. America is a capitalistic society. It's just the way it is. Business is business and it will always be like that.
Jim, you've got a good heart, but I enjoy writing pop music. It's okay for you not to like that kind of music, BUT it is ALSO ok for people that DO like it and continue writing/performing it. If you don't like it, don't listen to it.
