     @dragestil @alex >surely there are legal consequences
     Why would there be?
     
     The contract for that SaaSS specifically lays out a wide range of abuses that the hoster allowed themselves to carry out and even if you could really sue, damages awarded would be minor (ideally one would aim for the specific performance of providing a copy of the source code for the hologram, but that's not really achievable).

     @alex surely there are legal consequences if one's spouse is suddenly disappeared by a third party

     @dragestil Yes, how the contract for such SaaSS is not enforceable is the problem here.

     I'm fairly certain most countries have made arrangements so that it's very difficult to survive without signing away your life and becoming a slave to an employer (although the slavery can be temporary, as there's a fairly large choice of masters).

     @Suiseiseki @alex contractual terms are not always enforceable, especially if they are illegal. For example you can't sign away your life or become a slave in many countries.
