> Seems like if it's legal for a person to do it should be legal for software to do for the most part.

If you're going to make a claim this strong, you should expand on it. Should software be able to have custody of children? Should it be able to kill in self-defense? Should it be able to make 14th amendment claims? Exactly what part of the case (other than the damage claim) is hard to understand?
