Let's say you are the president of PETA
Or some other animal rights organization.
To help clear the air/improve his image/proclaim his innocence. Michael Vick pledges to donate $3 million to your organization. Does taking the money mean that you are profiting in some way from dog fighting? Keep in mind of course, that PETA is already profiting in one form or another from dogfighting by selling anti-vick apparel. What would you do?

I just think it is an interesting hypothetical to consider because PETA is in fact profiting from this dog fighting business...on some level.

Take the money. Along with the money ask Vick to commit never to abuse animals again.

PETA and other organizations profit because Vick (allegedly) was involved in dog fighting and tourture...just a little ironic, but as your defamation example shows...it's kind of the American way, right?

When I pay my speeding fine to the government, is the government profiting from my breaking of the speed limit law? I think you're stretching a bit.
