I suppose I have a bone to pick with this phrase, "There is no reason to put corporate profits before our society" because authors need to be paid. Otherwise you are arguing for socialism which isn't going to be warmly received by most of us capitalists. Also, who do you think owns a public corporation? The shareholders. People like us. I want my equities to grow and that requires profit.
Should there be a balance of public interest? Sure. That's why there are corporate taxes, to use just one example of balance.
