He's making a very important point here about the free market. In what sense is it free? What is a reasonable thing to hold someone to, contractually?
There's a real lack of thinking about what the free market should actually mean. It's almost always couched in industrial era terms when it does come up, esp in relation to Uber and the gig economy. "Labour" has a very different meaning now to what it meant back in the 1800s.
Good episode of South Park talks about this, "The Human CentiPad". Basically the boys fall foul of an Apple agreement and something bad happens. Really bad.
