Mondher brings up an interesting point regarding what can be considered
"business" on the internet.  We tend to take the position that academic
institutions, as non profit promoters of learning, are exempt from the
debate.  Increasingly, however, Universities and educational institutions
are entering into business relationships with firms, communities, and
individuals, as they transform themselves into what is called "service
universities".  The transformation from "research" to "service" is being
driven by economic constraints.  Even so, the most successful programs
entail considerable marketing, profit making, and may be
indistinguishable from commercial businesses.  I imagine these sorts of
issues will become more salient (and controversial) over time.
