> There will always be those who prostitute themselves out to build the software to support the bill.
I think I'm opposed to the term "prostitute" in this context. What if I need to keep my job to purchase medication to keep my wife and children alive, and that medication is prohibitively expensive without insurance?
At that point, I wouldn't be a prostitute - arguably I would be a hostage.
If you have the right to quit and find another job it's still prostitution regardless of your personal circumstances. Prostitutes have bills to pay too. The only prostitutes that qualify as hostages would be those that end up in that profession due to human trafficking. If you were human trafficked into building software to support the bill, I could see your point.
