Since when did making money on the market become a sin?

Good question.

If you give something for free, it is not considered "valuable" to most people. If you charge for it, it has an explicit value, and therefore people tend to pay closer attention to (get their money's worth). So, a point could be made that by Silver Shield charging for his series, he's doing more for the cause than by not charging for it.

He put a lot of effort into building that course material, and I am sure that he is putting a lot of effort into marketing. Why shouldn't he make money on it?

I am really excited and proud of him for getting on a program like that! I used to download Coast to Coast mp3's and listen to them every day. I also burned them onto CD's and gave them to my dad so that he could listen as well. Ah, the good old days. I still have a dozen or so CD's from 2003-2004.
