Well, corporations are people (egomaniacal and sociopathic, but hey, whos counting) too. So let's cut the Internet off this 'person'.

What? You can't survive if we do that?? Aww shucks, should have thought about that before you pirated somebody's video..

What `corporations are people' means is that corporations are a legal term called `persons', which is different from `humans'.

A person is simply an entity that can sue or be sued.

A natural person is a person who also happens to be a human.

Yes, but are they person enough to be subject to three strikes laws that some members of the EU have? It seems like it should put them at risk. I believe this is what GP is referring to.

[TheAmazingIdiot]

That is precisely my point. We're seeing this 3 strikes junk all around Europe, and its soon before it hits the US.

If these companies violate copyright, should they not also follow the rule of law? What makes them exempt, aside the fact they helped write it?

(and honestly, legally shutting down a faux news channel by killing it's Internet would be funny)

Actually, we don't have this 'corporation are people' bulls* in the UK (Sky News is basically Murdoch's Fox News UK).
