One issue, though, is that "good" seems to have a different definition for many of the really successful startups, i.e. being "robin hood." But, I am still not comfortable calling piracy a form of beneficial stealing. I do think such a thing exists in the realm of necessities for life, but free proprietary media is not a necessity. Such a business model is actually parasitic since a lot of capital is necessary to create high quality media. If you undermine the capital, you undermine the art.
So, the question in my mind is whether most of the do gooders are providing their own efforts for free or the efforts of others. Making money by giving away someone else's hard work and calling it good because it is free is distasteful.
But, I don't want to be too cynical. I do definitely agree that the fundamental purpose of business is to do good, i.e. create true wealth. Optimistically, if such an ideology can be spread effectively we could eliminate money, since computer technology gives us much more efficient ways to quantify transactions. This in turn would increase wealth significantly, since money is a big overhead.
