I get what you're saying, and you may well be correct. There are just some ideas here regarding rights, freedom, contracts and competition that all involve a level of discussion probably not appropriate here, and certainly not best discussed by me, neither a lawyer nor a philosopher. I was just curious about how others viewed the relevance of contract.
