Imagine you could create a holographic image of a dead musician performing live (not just a reply of an old performance, but a newly-created one). Imagine the musician was Tupac Shakur and the performance took place at this year's Coachella. Click on this link to hear a story about the digital recreation of Tupac from NPR's All Things Considered (4/17/12). The link will take you to a brief text commentary, a video of the performance, and another link to the audio file (worth listening to!). What are the ethics of bringing dead musicians back for "live" performances? Should living musicians insert lines in their will that regulate their use after they die?
