Arbitration clauses have been upheld regularly in the United States.

this is shameful. no private contract should be superior to the law.

  • Quite the opposite. No government should be able to overrule your own consensual interactions by threatening to use violence against you to countermand your own choices.

  • See also being able to sell your copyright to your boss, which in Europe is generally inalienable and can merely be licensed.

    • I must have missed this and I’m genuinely curious how this works.

      How does it work with, say, a SaaS company? Does every employee and contractor retain a perpetual license to each line of code they wrote? If that company ever looks to sell, what intellectual property does the company actually have?
