You can take out the word “ancient” and your statement works just as well. Of course the companies are looking out for their own interests.

I don’t see the issue with not allowing companies to take illegal terms and present them as a valid contract. They SHOULD be punished for that. Are we really supposed to feel sorry for them when they impose contracts on us and them claim they didn’t know what was in them?

“Machiavelli, where for art thou?”

Everywhere.

It is amusing that you seem to think that this sort of attitude towards laws, supporting them when they help and opposing them when they don’t, is somehow unique to corporations.

In sum, companies say that they support an ancient law when it helps them, the Federal Arbitration Act, but when an ancient law harms them, it should be thrown out.
