 They do differ then.

 In the legal nomenclature I know the two terms are disjoint, that is a 
legal person is an abstract one while a natural person is a real one (and 
of course being a natural person does not make you illegal).  Or in other 
words a legal person is called such because it exists solely by means of 
law and is otherwise fictious (as an example under such nomenclature you 
can't jail a legal person whereas you can do this to a natural person).

 *Now* we're getting philisophical, aren't we?
