if those communities are aiming for a break even at best, would those as well be considered "for profit", though?
- tehbeard 8y agoWho will be able to afford the better lawyers in that fight to argue if they're for profit? MediaCorp(tm) or the small community that got a little too popular/spotlighted?
- everdev 8y agoIn the US you need to register as a non profit, have a board of directors, etc. Even an LLC or INC that loses money is a "for profit" company. Most VC funded startups fall into this category where they lose money each year with the goal of eventually turning a profit.
- tremon 8y agoYes. For-profit is a de-facto legal term, and includes every enterprise that isn't registered as a non-profit.
