Because silicon is a robot. A camcorder can't catch a flick with me in the theater even if I dress it up like a muppet.

  What if I'm part-carbon, part-silicon? Like, a blind person with vision restored by silicon eyes? Do I not have rights to run whatever firmware I want on those eyes, because it's part of my body? Okay, so what if that firmware could hypothetically save and train AI models?

    presumably, it should be illegal to record a movie with with an inbuilt camera. capturing the data in such a way that an identical copy can be automatically be reproduced brakes the social contract around the way those works are shared. the majority of media is produced by large companies that are ultimately not harmed by such activities, but individual artisans that create things shouldn't be subjected to this. we can take this a step further: if your augmented eyes and ears can record people in a conversation, should you be allowed to produce lifelike replicas of people's appearance and voice? a person can definitely imagine someone saying/doing anything. a talented person with enough effort could even make a 3D model and do a voice impression on their own. it should be obvious that having a conversation with a stranger doesn't give them permission to clone your every detail, and shouldn't that also be true for your creations?

  Not with that attitude. A corporation "is a person" with all the rights that come along with that - free speech etc.
