Are you now saying people are not entitled to the money they earn?
Not automatically. They are only entitled to the money they earn as long it is in accordance to law. This is why, for example, you can't sell property that legally belongs to another person, or contraband.
If the transactions are done without legal tender (i.e, through debt/credit systems as an example), does that pass your test?
No, of course not. Credit and debit cards still are referents to legal tender and legal transactions.
"Advertised among the public" doesn't make much sense
It doesn't matter if newspapers or televisions stations are privately owned. Their broadcast is public.
