The criteria to determine the infringement of Intellectual Property rights is not easy to establish and it has been an issue which has raised many questions over the past years. In fact, the questions regarding this issue are interminable. Can I download music on Internet? Can I make copies of my CDs and give them as gifts or sell them? Can I put the television on in my establishment which is open to the public so that they can watch a match? And the radio? What about a film? And if I have taped the images? Do I need to pay for the copyright? How much should I pay and what criteria should apply?

The corporation is a contract whereby two or more persons are committed to jointly putting in money or assets to open a business in order to obtain a profit which is shared among all the partners. Once the constitutive formalities have been established, every business corporation acquires legal status, different to and independent of the partners who have formed the corporation. The legal status provides individuality to the corporation whereby a commercial name, a nationality and an address are assigned, in addition to providing the capacity and autonomy to act and contract in its own name with third parties. As a general rule, the corporation covers the corporate debt.

These issues of separation between the corporation and its partners, on occasion have made the legal status an attractive and useful instrument to commit fraud and to abuse the rights of third parties, as in specific cases, the partners who have constituted the corporation use the legal status to hide their identity, their estate and even their own responsibility abusing the legal status.
