Does anyone have an issue with consumers being held to ethical standards towards corporations, when, apparently, there are no such expectations of the corporations?

Corporations are not people, but we are.
Heck, nobody's saying there's anything "illegal" about browsing in a store and then buying the products online, but it is, to my mind (and it's just a personal opinion) unethical. If you do this routinely, don't be surprised if the store is no longer there in a year or two.
