by gspr 5y ago
Oh I agree with that.

Of course. But the fact that the norm is that one doesn't have to worry about these things still is a huge improvement.

Sure. But the buck stops with the corporation's board, or with the CEO that they appoint. And corporations aren't free to break the law, even though that diffusion of liability should be at play in that case, too.

I think that's what the cryptocurrency/NFT folks are dreaming about: a society in which there are no official services (no official money, no officially sanctioned notaries, etc.), so that you'll instead have an every-man-for
