I agree. A persons that consents to sell their labor to someone else still owns their own self. It's little different than working for someone or signing a contract to work for certain number of years in exchange for wages or salary or stock options. Indentured servants were brought over to the US to work a certain number of years for private individuals in exchange for their ship's passage and their room and board. When their contract expired they were free to go work for whoever or even start their own business.Indentured servants also agree to their contractual bindings, that doesn't make them any less physical property of the contract holder.
