A corporation can only be as "evil" as the people running it.
Just because it is a seperate legal entity, doesn't give it any sort of artificial intellegence that allows it to act on its own.

Not really, but it's definately wrong.

I think it is "evil" in the sense that it is putting your personal interests so far above the interests of anyone else, even within the same organization, to the point of bringing negative effects upon the others involved.
Ken Lay was evil. "Enron" was not.
