I think it's absolutely crystal clear they used the code to make money. However, it's not so cut and dry that they used it to make a profit. That's the fine line that lawyers could bicker about to pad their expensive suits with cash in a real live court of law, rather than a bunch of armchair lawyers like us on a message board.
Making money isn't the same thing as making a profit. All Medievia's owners have to do to prove they didn't make a profit is to show they've broken even or *lost* money over the years while running this enterprise.
I'm not a lawyer. My dad wasn't a lawyer. My stepdad wasn't a lawyer. My mom worked for lawyers as a paralegal. I covered court cases for a metro newspaper for the better part of a decade. And I've watched lots of Law & Order. None of that means I know what I'm talking about with any real expertise. But I'm fairly sure the jury's not even seated yet on whether they've made a profit.
