It's the future, and people are having sex with a hologram of you. Do you care?

I have no doubt Seven of Nine has had countless borg-licious nights with this 21st century gift to mankind right here.

She’s welcome. Resistance was futile anyway.

This poll says a lot about the guys here on the dope who responded to this poll!

Sadly, I am one of them.

As to my hologram (future edition), at least one of us is having fun.

LOL. If you have a “Future Viewer” especially one the emits a tachyon pulse; it’s not too far of a stretch to imagine that you might have a working Holodeck.

:slight_smile:

Erase everything? Naw. Since you have this awesome tech that allows me to see the future, I’d see a lawyer about enshrining all rights of publicity to my estate. I might not get money, being long dead, but I could set up a charitable trust or something and they would. Woohoo!

Of course if HoloSoft does their homework, this may effectively prevent them from using my image anyway… why pay when you can get someone else’s image for free?

You’ve got to be joking. Nobody is that hard up in the present, much less the future, which is bright and rosy.:rolleyes:

I think the invention of Viagra took care of that.

As long as I’m not a captive head in a bottle while copies of my DNA are forcibly and painfully extracted, then I don’t care. Although I would seriously question their taste, if I were present.

As long as either:

a) They are paying to use my image

or

b) Nobody pays for such things (in which case I will be too busy getting laid to care)

Paying who to use your image? You’ll be dead by then.

I can’t see how anything would bother me if I was dead.

If I was around this would only bother me if it was used to harass me by say filming my hologram doing horrible things or having horrible thing done to it and posting it publicly, or if it violated my privacy in order to portray me accurately.

Sorry, didn’t read the OP carefully enough

If people were really having sex with a hologram of me in the future, I would be astonished and flattered in equal measure.

Am I any good? I don’t care (I’m dead, after all), but I’d hope to be the best they ever had!

I see you’ve found my modeling photos.

No, seriously. If there’s one thing I’ve learned from the internet, it’s that no matter who you are or what you look like, there’s someone out there who would give their right arm and a major bodily organ to be named later to have sex with you. I would not be surprised if someone opted to have sex with a holodeck projection of me, nor would I be especially bothered by the idea. If I’m dead then I won’t be carping about licensing and money issues, nor would I be subject to creepy obsessed people tracking down my home address and standing outside my window with a boombox trying to get the attention of the real me.

So who cares? Future people, have your fun! I’ll be rotting quietly in the ground.
