Jhoagland,
yeah that was the point: corporations have no empathy, like a psychopath, all they care about is their own, selfish, petty desires ;)  As an entity. they behave in an insane manner.
-As another aside, recent study thinks this is due to area in the brain relating to comprehending facial expressions is much smaller/damaged in such folk.
-In the case of corporations, individuals let the entity over-ride their morals and common sense, like what happened with the mass murdering regimes of the last century, SAME lunacy. All they care about is shareholders/profit margins...perfect example of this is the evil SOBs in an oil company who had to get rid of toxic sludge form their operations, rather than pay couple of million for European companies ot do it properly, they came up with a complex plan to illegally dump it in Africa for $250,000...killing dozens of folk in the process.
-Capitalism liek anything else we Humans do, is bad in extremes, and eventually will destroy itself (and us in the process). Too much power leads to oligarchies and as is happening int he USA, the destruction of the wealth and stability of the middle and workign class...who are essential in Capitalism for wealth egneration...it's liek a pyramid, jacke dup form belowan inch at a time...effectively, the foundations are being corroded and the structure unstable from being top heavy and the builders on the top aren't listening to the structural engineers from the bottom...simple analogy but basically true.

Anyway, coporationsa re trying to "own" EVERYTHING, rememebr Microsoft's isnane desire to patent the "right mouse click"? Companies are also immorally setting up "Patent traps", they make a spurios claim to ownership of idea for soemthing, so when soemone does make something, they step in and sue....

IMHO, only single Human beings should be allowed to have copyrights, it's dangerous and insane otherwise. The designer of a Porsche is fine, but not Porsche the company because how the flip can a thing that doesn't exist outside human social interaction bloody well own something? it's not REAL, a company is not a "real" thing. Companies are trying to extend copyright/patent durations...where as copyright linked ot a real person ends on their death (or can be extended), corporations are "immortal"...see the problem?
