I see Hollywood is now very into the idea of buying something once and then owning it forever and being able to make infinite copies. Which. Isn't quite the message they imparted upon me in my childhood. I the spirit of their own long-held stance:

A photoshopped version of the "You wouldn't download a car" ad saying: "You wouldn't download an actor"

Before we get there, it is wise to re-examine what we lose when everything is commodified. You might not mean to sound anti-woman, but you do sound anti-woman, anti-personhood even, because what you're saying is that a person's body (regardless of gender and sex) and likeness can be commodified without the person's consent, or even knowledge that it is happening. You might be interested in reading Michael J. Sandel's "What Money Can't Buy" and examine your fantasy from an economic-political point of view.

Yep, I figured it was going to be offensive in some way, but I bet that day is coming, offensive or not.

Suuper late reply. Morals change, ethics evolve. I probably won't be alive the day this happens, so I'll leave with a shrug.
