The idea that the "software owns its own code" would not hold up in any court that I can think of. Building a system that spans jurisdictions, making it difficult for a court to claim the ability to rule on it is beside that point.
Laws change. I'm just trying to make a statement about this exact issue.
If an entity on the internet can't directly be controlled by anyone (kind of like Bitcoin), who is liable for its actions?
