To some extend, we have this issue in a very fundamental way for university teaching.

Are you allowed to build a university-level course made almost entirely out of content you find on the Web?

The answer is yes, of course. We have had courses built around textbooks, and that's no different.

The professor (or lecturer) is there to challenge, motivate, and evaluate the students, not to produce the content.

What universities sell is not content. You can buy the content in their bookstores or any other bookstores. Or, increasingly, you can find the content on the Web.

Why do people still attend universities? To get recognition. But also because a nasty professor with a Ph.D. will challenge you a lot more than you could challenge yourself, even if you are given the same content.

I like to push my students to study pieces of the a topic they would never touch on their own; they wouldn't touch it because they'd feel it is too difficult.

A university professor acts like a model for the student. He says "I managed once to grasp this, and you can do it too". The last thing a university professor is, is a content producer.

On a good year, most professors publish maybe 5 articles, most often with numerous co-authors. That's not much content production.
