"Holograms are here, from Tupac to Marilyn Monroe. Will you be next?"
http://j.mp/11me7Ap (Washington Post)
"What does the legal system have to say about all this? The picture is
murky at best. On the one hand, existing laws may serve perfectly well
as deterrents and remedies; for example, copyright precedents should
apply equally to virtual images and real ones. If a hologram's actions
hurt someone's reputation, presumably current libel and slander laws
would offer protection. On the other hand, the Supreme Court has
already carved out exceptions for virtual humans."
