I agree with your sentiment, but ultimately Governments are the ones allowing and enabling it.
If legal, corporations are just doing what is allowed. I hate them for it, but ultimately, i hate that it is allowed. If the law was put into place via illegal bribing/etc, then yes, both parties are to blame. But if it's all above board, then it's entirely on the Government imo.
Take America for example. Lobbying is an utterly disgusting practice in my eyes, yet i can't blame the groups doing the lobbying. I would too if i had the resources. I blame the government for enabling lobbying, and not shutting it down as it stands now.
Corporations have invaded Government, but ultimately the Government is what needs to be fixed to not allow corporations to get away with this.
edit: And of course, you could just continue with the blame train, saying people are to blame, etcetc. I'd agree with you there too. We all need to do something, to fix this damn Government(s).

Again, the key focus of the Spanish investigation is not into whether Google rationally took advantage of "loopholes" -- but whether they made false representations as to their business structure and the activities of their local subsidiaries. See today's El País article for an explanation of the authorities' reasons behind the raid.
