The sad thing is that corporations have more rights (quantitatively) than humans.
Can offset tax liability through complex structures
While they cannot vote, they can effectively hide their identity behind Super PACs
Any criminal liability results in fines, never jail time for anyone in charge
in fact, all corporate executives benefit from liability shield, so long as their actions can be tied back to benefit the company in any way
Can own just about anything a human can own, with the added benefit that they belong to the company. Digital rights (e.g. books, movies, etc.) legally belong to an entity that cannot die.
If we (people in general) do it, we’re being filthy thieves and the reason why everything is bad. But when it’s a megacorpo, it’s suddenly a-OK?
Screw this shit. Information should be like the air, free for everyone. Not free for the GAFAM chaste and paid for us untouchables.
