While corporations are undoubtedly of Roman origin nonetheless they really started to gain headway in the business world upon Shakespeare's writing of the Merchant of Venice. Seems the argument was proposed that the contract called for a pound of flesh and the court ruled that this is precisely what Shylock should have, no more and no less, but he had to obtain it without spilling a single drop of blood. Blood is life and there is no blood or life either one in any corporation I ever knew so cutting out the equivalent of a pound of anything without spilling blood is possible.
The creation of modern day corporations hinges upon this one simple argument that caused Shylock's contract to fail. The concept is that an argument conceived today will have responses many centuries later that will ripple through society. The entertainment business is going overboard these days creating new concepts that will surely have significant effects hundreds of years from now.
Just a thought.
Carry on.
