By this definition, all foreign students are guilty of espionage if they plan to take what they learned back to their home countries.
This assumes the knowledge is owned by the country or anyone.
I'm imagining a cyberpunk future where students have to pay a life-long lease for learning privately owned intellectual property, and if they don't pay the repo men come to take their brains.
Nightmare and exactly what the above comment is asking for.
