I was watching total recall and the whole concept kinda made me think.Why aren't memories copyrighted?Let's use an example here; let's say I own an amusement park. People pay admission, ride a coaster and leave. But they still have those memories in their head of that time were on a roller-coaster outside of the parkt.To me that's theft, they are basically reliving those memories rent free. So here's my question what would be a means to put digital rights on experiences like that?
>>107689039Ideas are worth nothing, credit only goes to whoever has the means to implement them and get to the patent office first.
>>107689039Nobody has yet managed to extract them from someone’s head, so nobodies bothered to rule on it. Given the US requirements for copyright, it’s likely that copyright for memories would belong to whoever did the extraction (an original work of authorship, fixed in a tangible medium of expression). Seeing and remembering something is not authorship, it occurs automatically and large unconsciously. The extraction of such a memory would likely require a lot of tweaking and back and forth with the originator of said memory to ensure accurate extraction, making it akin to a photograph, in that while the method of capture is not the authors labour, the decisions on framing, lighting, to capture the photo at all, and other similar factors give rise to copyright-ability.

>>107689039The Eiffel Tower claims copyright over how it is lit. Though they don't usually go after tourists who post photos of the tower at night, they reserve the right to do so. Commercial photographers are required to license the right to photograph the tower.
>>107689039>>107689064On further reading, OP asked a completely different, and significantly more Jewish question. They paid you for the ride, they gave you a license. Your “work” is the ride as it exists in reality, not the experience of riding it, which is a product of the riders mind. Furthermore, copyright is solely interested in the commercial exploitation of a work. People cannot share memories, nor can they effectively provide others with their experience, therefore at the most generous, it’d be like someone watching a movie they’d bought more than once, more realistically, it’d be like someone describing the movie to you.
>>107689039>To me that's theft, they are basically reliving those memories rent free.Yep. I harassed my sister for years for having memories of a game I let her play when were kids (Animal Crossing for GameCube). Those memories are fucking mine. If I hadn't let her play the game, she wouldn't have them.
