Re: [s-d] [s-b] Proposal: Fix contracts

[Jay Campbell <bnomic@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The point was to stop enslavement.  Right now Black Corp can gang up and 
enslave Billy Pilgrim. You got me, and I got Wooble and some others. I'm 
trying to get rid of changes to contract terms without consent, like 
you'd have in real life.

A corporation can still be a party to its own contract and block any 
attempts to modify it, according to its own rules about such things.
