Ahhh, but that, as they say, is not how the game is played. You
don't have the privilege of giving up your rights. You can choose
not to exercise them in a specific instance (ie, the 5th amendment),
but broad "I no longer wish to have this right because I want this
privilege instead" are not allowed. Besides what rights have the
owners of a company given up?
