One of the big negatives for the upload is the fact that there's no guarantee of proximity the personality's components - making its thinking very slow. Keeping all components of the entity in proximity should make things much more pleasant for the upload - but then as you suggest, more care needs to be taken to maintain the hardware. 100% uptime and data redundancy become literally "a matter of and death" to the uploads. Copies of the personality need not be running - they could just be stored to a mirrored / RAID disk. | |

Uploads erased when they displeased their originals etc. I imagine that eventually, the original would play the role of "parent" for the copy for a period of time. During that time, the "parent" would make legal decisions for the upload but upon reaching its "majority" the upload would gain all rights of other sentients in government. | |
