Let's say General Dynamics and Katy Perry love each other very much, travel to New York and get hitched. Is that legal even though one of them is still incorporated in Delaware? And does the other one get a deduction in California?
My uh, friend really needs to know.
Don't forget the right to vote and to be elected too.
The thing that horrifies me about corporations being "legal persons" is that I can't help but think we're one step closer to a Jim Carrey movie becoming reality.
Sadly, Jim Carrey movies are already a reality.
Corporations (from the word "body") are legally persons in exchange for paying tax.
Charlie Stross has probably written extensively about this somewhere.
The mechanical people in SATURN'S CHILDREN get their personhood by being property of their own corporation, but Steigler and Delaney did it first: VALENTINA: SOUL IN SAPPHIRE was nominated for the 1984 Hugo.
It's considered rude to mention that a corporation decided to wear white to a wedding despite their negative EDGAR filings.
Does this also mean that killing a corporation will fall under euthanasia laws?
And is a hostile takeover rape, murder, or forced/arranged marriage?
You know, I always appreciate your "previously" links.
Especially when one of them is that "Meat" short story.
Corporations have no gender, so any laws pertaining to sex, gender, or marriage do not apply to them unless they are mergers and acquisitions laws, rules or regulations.

Please pass along my best wishes to the future Mrs. Katy Dynamics.
