If signing a contract was all that we needed to coordinate well, we would already be coordinating as much as is useful now. We already have good strong reasons to want to coordinate for mutual benefit.
We don't have the identity and value overlap with others that we'd have with copies. The contract would just be formalizing it. I think it's a silly way of formalizing it. I respect my copies' right to drift differently than I do, and will then cease cooperating as absolutely. I certainly don't want to lose all of my assets in this case!
