I don't believe in intellectual property as it is imposed today, and don't think you should be able to set up any kind of copyright scheme to guarantee "generational wealth" of your family. If you want to do that then become a super successful artist in your lifetime and pass your wealth down to them. Even the idea that people can copyright their "likeness" rubs me the wrong way, but that is the law. Ok fine but it definitely shouldn't still apply after someone's death. Using Fat Brad after he's passed on is tasteless, yes, but anyone should be "allowed" to and the law shouldn't be involved.
I dream of a future with Star Trek-like holodecks, where we can recreate any fantasy or real scenario from the past and include recreations of real people to experience what they were like. Imagine trying to create a poker tournament with Isaac Newton, Elon Musk, Terry Crews, Terry Davis, and Sean Connery, but the computer refuses to add Connery until you buy the 20000 credit DLC because his spoiled, degenerate great-great-great-great-great-great grandchildren who want people like me dead have to get their cut first.
