I'm too busy listening to great music to watch your video, but the short answer is, yes, corporation personhood is a useful legal fiction. Whether certain specific privileges should or should not be extended to such fictional persons, on what basis, and according to what theory, is a more substantial issue. Prior to the emancipation of the slaves, two distinct categories of person existed without the world coming to an end. Something similar needs to happen with corporate personhood, imho.
