, and no company is going to go to jail for you.

Assnuts. They'd not go to jail anyway. Companies pay fines at most, you might arrest a specific legal representative (one of 123456789 employees of the company) for three days while the lawyer comes up with better papers, but companies never, meaningfully go to jail.

    Right. The point is that they're not going to do you any favors with regard to the law. They have zero incentive to fight the law on your behalf, because your relationship is purely transactional.

    Another way to say it is, "No company is going to break the law for you."
