I just read the book. Great read with lots of fascinating info.

This seems like a decent summary of some of the situation.

Also some very interesting stuff here.

It seems like the situation is one in which they do take/make money from the system, but their actions, can provide some benefit. I've read several articles on it and some of the arguments for it seem oversimplified to me. I don't think it's a black and white thing, but several shades of gray.
