So if you go to the doctor for a regular check up and they take biological waste from your visit and send it to a company who uses your DNA to make multiple clones of you to be given to adoptive parents who can't have children, you're good with that?
- hxa7241 15y agoThinking about it, yes, that seems OK. It is not clear what the real problem is. It just seems challenging because of the oddness. There is some question of privacy: it might be objectionable there. But that does not really bear upon the core of copyright, which is about items that have been made public. One could pose a similar question: what if someone else decides to dress exactly like you, and go about like that? What grounds are there for your objection to that? (There do not seem to be any . . .) If they went so far as to impersonate you in the sense of identity fraud, there is a problem. But that is really about lying rather than copying per se, like counterfeiting.
- earbitscom 15y agoIf someone wants to dress as shitty as I do, more power to them. And if you don't mind being cloned, then that's fine, too. I just want to make sure you're not drawing an imaginary line somewhere.
