I agree with this, but there is an additional point that I think must be kept in mind with regards to schemes for privately produced law. Any entity that has the power to make laws, and to enforce them, has a de facto power to initiate the use of force against anyone it doesn't like. This power can be controlled in various ways, but we must start by realizing that it exists.
