It's pretty easy: there's no culpability on either side. It's not either-or. If guns and ammo and knife manufacturers are not responsible for murder than neither are ISPs and software developers responsible for piracy.

If the courts don't like that an IP isn't a person, then they can pressure congress to change the laws. Until then, everyone can go fuck off

Double whammy, corporations are not people and should also have laws changed.

Corporations treated as persons only gives board people the ability to vote twice while the workers can't.

All the rights of a person but none of the obligations.
