    The point being that the investors may have limited their liability
    PHYSICALLY by being completely detached from the mission, but I'll bet
    whoever the ships were sent to exploit wouldn't see it that way if they
    got them in a room alone.

    Once again, the point being that the Moral Liability for desecrating
    someone's homeland, for instance, should not be disclaim-able simply
    because someone ELSE writes their contracts that way. And in fact, by
    nature, they are not disclaim-able. Only when backed by FORCE or
    DECEPTION can liability be avoided. If the natives who's homelands are
    desecrated by the ships funded by the LLC's members find out who the
    members are, their outrage can only be blocked by
    force/deception/coercion.

    Best,

    Robbie
