Ultimately the law of the land is might makes right. In a democracy that tends to lie with masses of people (sometimes counter balanced by protective laws), in other instances it tends to rest in the hands of the few.

It's the corporation and the indifference of rights so long as it doesn't negatively impact the bottom line.
