I do think there’s a key difference between a full upload that more or less maintains continuity of consciousness (e.g. you don’t experience anything beyond going to sleep and waking up in a different ??body??) and a backup that restores you to a point after a definite permanent break in said continuity, e.g. death or brain injury.
What is your epistemic confidence in “Copyright won’t be the operating legal principle for all sorts of reasons.”? I know we are both making assumptions here, how do we best test those assumptions and validate which world seems like the more possible world to exist in? Predicting the future is hard. I will make a Metaculus question on this matter. I tried just now but ran into “An unexpected error” and don’t have time to troubleshoot.
I had not thought about the distinction between patent & copyright law in this case, I’ll have to examine that further another day.
