No, but the law treats it as bad as stealing when an individual copyright-infringes from a corporation, so why shouldn't it be as bad as stealing when a corporation copyright-infringes from an individual?

Of course, even this isn't enough, since corporations regularly steal (actually) from individuals, with near impunity.
