Downvoting this comment doesn’t make it less true.

Most everyone and everything has been captured by the ultimate cynicism of Capitalism: if I don’t do it someone else will, so might as well put the money in my pocket right??

I agree with @kingleopod — this system is designed to do what it is doing: keep knowledge private and keep profits high. Full stop.

Again, the system is working as intended. Capitalism is a wonderful hack on so many levels.
