You would think this was already a thing, it seems incredibly obvious and intuitive
It is a thing. Personality Rights. They exist in Danish law already. Maybe this new proposal is something else, something more specific or closes some loophole.
I guess this would work, but why not make a specific law? Copyright is meant for creative acts. Humans are created, in an act, but, never mind.
The answer seems obvious. This is simply a gift to famous people, who will be able to demand licensing fees without having to do any additional work. Just neo-feudalism.
The pitch makes as much sense as trying to sell ordinary copyright as a way to stop people forging documents.

Touché, but in my defense, all countries suck, and mostly just serve the 1%, so the bar wasn’t high to begin with
Maybe there’s a correlation
Just come on down to the government run face scanner and have your features verified so we can be sure no one ever makes a copy
Do you also think all of your creative works are in a government database somewhere?
