Summary: | "Software can already achieve a status very close to legal personhood under existing law. It can "inhabit" a business organization, letting the organization act autonomously, apart from human influence.. This is not as scary as it firsts sounds. Written by a legal theorist with a significant background in computer technology, this book on law & technology shows how existing law in the US can enable software to gain the capabilities of "legal persons," permitting it to enter into contracts, serve as a legal agent, own property, and so forth. The book introduces novel legal-transactional techniques by which these capabilities are already possible and shows how they are supported by legal doctrine and legal policy"--
