It's ok to be paid while spreading knowledge!

Universities do it, Google search does it, broadcasters do it.

The only place that doesn't really do it is public libraries, which are all subsidized either by governments or donations.

That's all well and good, until the theft and spread of knowledge leaves you permanently unemployed.

Because agents can do labor this is more than just "knowledge sharing". It undercuts human labor power and allows for even grosser concentration of capital.
