I wonder how many individuals had to work in order to permit Mr. Greenberg to present the commencement address on the Sabbath? Although Mr. Greenberg did not actually flip the light switches in the building, someone had to turn the lights on and off and turn the screen and audio system on and off. Thus, indirectly he did make others work on the Sabbath, even though they would have done so anyway, even if he chose not to speak.

The fact that others work on the Sabbath, as long as one dies not directly pay them to do so, is not considered to be a problem.
