Corporations are just the proxies of their owners. The corporation has rights on behalf of those owners.

This is not actually the case. Corporations are entities separate and independent from their "owners". That fact is why there's such a thing as a corporate shield that mostly prevents the owners from being held responsible for the misbehavior of the corporation.

Corporations are proxies for some combination of their shareholders, their management, and their chartering government, but not simple proxies for any of the three.
