Well, at least you are consistent with your position.
I just don't like that we rely on what amounts to DRM in order to give the human brain exemptions to privacy and copyright laws.
I feel that I "own" my memories and nobody should be allowed to tell me what I can do with them. If there's a device that lets me dump them to computers and sell them, first of all, it should be legal, and second of all, I should have that right.
I feel that you do not "own" what I observe about you with my own senses and that I do not need your permission to look at you, listen to you, or generally infer things about you. I don't see how a memory dumping device is different from computer sensors, and thus I don't have a problem with computers collecting information about me in public.
- jacksnipe 7y agoI feel you. Quite literally, I am emotionally attached to the idea of ownership and my memories seem like something I should own. I just think the entire concept of “ownership” breaks down when you have zero- (or epsilon-)cost copies.
