Corporations act as "legal persons" - they can enter into contracts, own assetts, sue people, etc. The problem emerges when a corporation enters into battle with an individual - it's pretty hard to fight a lawsuit when the "person" on the other side of the table has billions of dollars, thousands of lawyers, and is willing and able to protract the battle over dozens of years. It's even worse when your opponent has the resources to lobby to change laws. Can you say RIAA?
