Don't fool yourself. No lawyer decides to go to bat for the RIAA in civil court out of a sense of justice, or for any other reason than to bring home giant bags of money.

How many people out there work for the desire to achieve vs. bags of money?

Too many fall into the latter unfortunately.

The desire to make money is fine. It's when it becomes a higher priority than basic morality/decency that it becomes something contemptible.

A lot.
