Again the problem here is not the duplicate bag, it is the act of SELLING or DISTRIBUTING the bag I can take material and make an exact replica of a Louis Vuitton handbag for my own personal use, however if I tried to SELL it as a Louis Vuitton handbag it would be fraud and trademark violation. So in the case of the Sam Goody, Scanned the Cassette I can take a star Trek replica for my own personal use, perfectly lega…

That links to trafficking statutes. And it states, "it is not a crime under this act for an individual knowingly to purchase goods bearing counterfeit marks, if the purchase is for the individual's personal use." I emphasize under this act , since this act relates to trafficking. That doesn't say that it is not illegal under any other act or law. Customs and Border Patrol seems quite clear: "It is illegal to purchase…

CBP provides no code statute under which they have made this declaration so it seems to be more of a scare tactic than at legal opinion. Further given the context to CBP they are also most likely talking about knowingly importing counterfeit products into the US after buying while traveling

That is way way off course from the topic of digital nor does it make it illegal to buy just illegal to import

You have yet to provide the needed statute citation to back your claims that it is either illegal to buy a counterfeit nor how that would apply to the original thesis that it is note illegal to download a copyrighted work only illegal to distribute or upload it

> the ideas around AI, consciousness & free will they wanted to explore I haven't seen S2, but with that description, and as an avid fan of the various incarnations of Ghost in the Shell, I want to see S2 to see how they explore those concepts.

It's becoming clear that with all the brain and consciousness theories out there, the proof will be in the pudding. By this I mean, can any particular theory be used to create a human adult level conscious machine. My bet is on the late Gerald Edelman's Extended Theory of Neuronal Group Selection. The lead group in robotics based on this theory is the Neurorobotics Lab at UC at Irvine. Dr. Edelman distinguished betwe…

Thank you for taking the time and maintaining the passion to write a reply this detailed. Much of this goes over my head, but that just means I've got me some learning to do.

I'll be keeping this bookmarked to refer back to.

I should also say, a few years ago I read "the man who mistook his wife for a hat" and it totally changed my thinking on how the brain works, as in it has clearly evolved in an entirely "evolved" manner, ie. unstructured, pieces fitting together as they randomly develop. The one sentence description I've come up with is: the brain, our logic engine, doesn't actually work in a way that we would consider logical.

What this means for me, combined with my abstract understanding of your commentary, is that consciousness won't be achieved when you're trying to build it, consciousness will be achieved by trying to build the pieces that can grow and work together over time to become consciousness (I can't quite find the right words to demonstrate what I mean - we can't build "it" but we can build something that can evolve into "it").
