When corporations dabble in philosophy, you know they're trying to muddy the waters and skirt an ethical issue. It's not a genuine inquiry going on here; it's a "whatever argument serves the bottom line" situation.

I guess there's no such thing as intellectual property either, when you really think about it. Hence nothing wrong with me making and selling pirated samsung phones.

Reality is a team sport, to some people. They're only shuffling cards to justify whichever conclusion they want next.

They think that's all you're doing. They think that's all there is.
