> Corporations and robots must pay.

Greenpeace is a (non-profit) corporation. Unions are corporations. Municipalities. Colleges and universities.

Should they have to pay?

Yes. Non-profits are more than capable of abusing the commons, the purpose of even small monetary requirements is to put a bound on that.

I used to volunteer for a local non-profit a few years ago.

From time to time, I would reflect on the fact that Microsoft and other commercial suppliers were getting paid for providing services to us, but I was expected to work for free.

Yes. Not for profit does not mean they don’t have money.

With that logic why should non profits have to pay for anything at all?
