This question came up on the UO newsgroup:  Other than hospitals, are there
any for-profit companies that use volunteers?  I couldn't think of any,
other than AOL.

Nursing homes, retirement homes and communities, newspapers (unpaid interns
or very lowpaid, same thing IMHO), for that matter any unpaid internship
could probably be considered the same thing.   Then there are smaller
magazines, newspapers, and websites that cover a 'niche' which are
for-profit (even though they don't show one and probably never will) that
are staffed almost entirely by volunteers.

On Lums when we run banners and make any money off them all our writers get
a little something.  Not much -- enough to cover a night on the town and not
much more.  However, from what I've heard that isn't true at all websites.
So you could make a case for that I suppose.
