I think you should take a look at a documentary called "The Corporation" that is currently being played at various theatres across Canada and the US. It addresses the fact that Corporations are legally viewed as a person and examines just what kind of person that entity is. It's not pretty. I think it's dangerous to view a corporation as a person since there aren't any specific people held accountable when it does something wrong. You can't put a corporation in jail or rehabilitate it, etc.
