I really believe in paying interns if they are doing meaningful productive work (programing, engineering, design, finance). I made good money in college as an intern and would never even contemplate working for free.
curt, i'd be all for paying if the money was available. we have operated on a nonexistent budget and made it work.
my only hesitation about bringing money into the equation is i believe it can cloud the focus...and when the going rate around here is free internships, they're fortunately eager to pad their resume & get experience with us

I'd work for free immediately if I could be Steve Job's intern (for example). I'm over 40.
Ok yes there are exceptions. I'd do the same. My bad.
