Clearly corporations are people and deserve the same respect as humans.

Arguably, you're not wrong, if by "respect" you mean how someone is treated.

If you expect to engage in transactional relationships with people to further your own ends, will obey explicitly agreed-upon rules but have no implicit ones, and have no particular concerns for the persons' wellbeing beyond those, you will treat humans and corporations the same.
