They are being assholes, which is fine as far as the law goes, but still it's a legit reason for being mad at them.

It's pointless, that's how corporations are. It's about as useful as getting mad at a wild animal for acting like an animal.

The only time corporations "care" is when their customers want them to (because otherwise they would loose business).

Wild animals don't know what they're doing, the people behind corporations do. Corporations are abstract constructs, but they're run by people. And in this case the people are amoral assholes, extortionists leeching off of the work of others.

The people who run corporations have obligations towards their investors. If they disagree, they may quit, but they cannot run a corporation against the interest of its investors. And, if they quit, someone will replace them.

This turns corporations into sociopath-like entities.

Yes they are, I quite agree. And it's still pointless to get mad at them.
