- vidarh 8y agoMost countries have laws that treats certain types of companies as a legal person in most respects. How far it extends varies, but it's certainly not unusual for companies to have extensive rights. The very name "corporation" hints at this (from lating "corpus"), and the idea of a corporation predates the existence of the US by more than a millennium.
