I have a question on that.

Say I open a company NoServ, Ltd.
Then have that company found p2pox, ltd. This company registers the hosting of an autonomous agent that pays for its continued existence.
Then I dissolve the NoServ company.

Is the agent now an independent, legally recognized entity?

Now the interesting part is with APIs. The agents could reproduce into other hostings. That would almost qualify them as a life form...
