A corporate entity is just a collection of individuals. And in this case, those individuals have (it seems) a great deal of influence within that entity. Thus, for the purposes of this argument, the two can be treated almost interchangeably.
OK, let me phrase it a different way. I know some of the people involved, even at the higher levels of the corporation, who don't share in the official @Stake stance. In the same way that I don't necessarily blame Microsoft's employees for the decisions of Gates, et al., I don't want to see everyone at @Stake automatically crucified for this unfortunate action.
