    What makes copyright bad but identity protection good? Copyright prohibits the unauthorized duplication of your actual labor. To my mind that’s more egregious than simply copying the shape of your face.

    I’d be a lot less pissed off if someone copied my face than if they copied something that actually took me effort to produce.

      Wasn’t my point. It’s more about WHAT someone does with your “identity” in public media. In the long term I can see it being abolished too but in the short term there will be a lot of drama about it for sure.

      Edit:

      Wasn’t my point.

      Yeah, it seems like it was my point in my original comment, my bad.
