If they make a model based on altruism work, I am all for it, but I am working on the assumption that it won't work, or at least, I don't know of many systems in which something is for sale, but the rest of the system relies on altruism.
Wikipedia is altruism on a large scale, but they aren't selling the consumer anything.
