Actually, a better response would be to eliminate laws that provide
corporations with a special legal status and special legal privileges.
If people wish to deal with a company under those terms that are currently
in force for dealing with corporations, they should be free to agree with the
company to do so, but there should not be any special priveliges granted to
corporations by legal edict.  Note, many of the terms under which corporations
operate, such as limited liability, are dicounted by those who deal with them
anyway.
