It's not so much a matter of using the software for profit as it is using the 
resources donated by what amounts to a collection of "hobbyists" for profit. 
It's my understanding there's no private network involved. In fact the 
service is marketed as "additional anonymity of THE Tor network" (emphasis 
mine).

Call me anal retentive if you like, but I see tapping into the existing Tor 
network for profit as ethically abhorrent.
