    Felt like it was pretty clearly hyperbolic.

    People who work in public domain also need jobs to sustain their ability to do so.

      Yes, but sometimes producing for the public domain is their job. Sponsorships, grants, and other funding instruments exist for people who do work which is committed to the public domain.
