Right, and this should still exist, but the people should get paid for the work they do. An internship is an investment in peoples' careers so as to encourage them to have a favorable opinion of you, and maybe work for you. As it's a short-term money-loser by design, there's no reason it shouldn't pay at least a pittance.

Yes, a company will do that because a company always wants to paint itself positively -- but from their perspective the purpose of internships is to filter through and prove talent. The company isn't investing (after all, they're not paying). 'tis the intern investing in his or her own career -- as it should be! The company is more concerned with if _they_ like _you_. The reward for the intern is experience, and maybe a future position.
