No, the DAO believers explicitly decided "f* the government, in code we trust" and wrote in their contract that whatever the DAO did, according to its code, was right.

You don't have such an agreement with Amazon.

Regarding your edit: I don't want to vote for anything. I'm simply pointing out that there is a (real-life!) agreement, and a party (slock.it et al.) not holding themselves to that agreement, and that I'd enjoy seeing that played out in court, where it belongs.

I never decided that.

The idea of distributed investments and unstoppable tools that are distributed isn't about "f* the government" or anarchism; it's about not letting anyone other than a consensus of ourselves manipulate us.

The point is, if we disagree, what can you do, if you don't have any interest or control over this (hint: nothing)?

You didn't invest in a "distributed investment and unstoppable tool that is distributed", you invested in a partnership with the DAO code explicitly stated as the (potentially legally binding) operating document. If you didn't share the values and conditions in that contract, you probably shouldn't have joined the DAO/partnership.

Regarding your last paragraph: I'm not sure why you're attacking me personally here.

I do share the values of The DAO, which is why I'm happy that things are being handled exactly how I would have wanted them to. I'm not sure where the confusion is arising from. I'm talking about next steps.

Are you sure you're replying to the right person?
