Can someone answer that?

It doesn’t name members of the board.

It actually says netflix.

I know they can sue netflix.

But indict it?

They won’t fit in the prison :)

Yes, the term ‘corporation’ literally means ‘make a body’ so an incorporation means they are treated like a single person................

You can indict a corporation?

Corporations are treated as a person in legal terms. so yes you can indict them, however you obviously cannot lock a corporation up for criminal acts. In some circumstances you can lock up officers of a company found guilty of knowingly committing or allow others to commit criminal acts such as what happened to Enron and Volkswagen, however those require prosecution outside the initial indictment of the corporation. A corporation itself can be fined, taken over by the government temporarily (conservatorship), or can even be forcibly shut down depending on the severity of the crimes committed.
