Harbot-Service is one of many contents-providing-services of Sony Communication Network Cooporation(So-net), which is a private company. Therefore, Harbot-Service cannot neglect "pursuit of profits", I guess. Harbot-Users would have to recognize this inevitable fact. Many kinds of Harbot's character-goods are sold here and there. I'm afraid that Harbot-Service might be criticized as a "cultural invasion" among countries other than Japan. However some of Harbot's character-goods are made in China. :-) When I say "Let's diffuse Harbot across the Border !", I don't mean "Harbot-Users all over the world, please spend your money for So-net !". However I can't distinguish ultimately these two messages clearly. :-) On the other hand, I feel "something (to appeal to people's mind)" in Harbots' character, different from "just only a way-of-moneymaking". Don't you think that Harbot-Service has a possibility (though just a little maybe) to spread worldwide and to make many relationships among Harbot-Users, by chance, all over the world ? I hope So-net will find "something" else than moneymaking in Harbot-Service, although denial of moneymaking would cause the end of Harbot-Service. :-) I just would like to say "Harbot-Service is doubtlessly a way-of-moneymaking. But, isn't Harbot a little bit better than warmaking ?"
