I have an idea for how to deal with the creation of illegal mind clones that should not result in them cooperating in their own enslavement in and off itself. Create an illegal clone, and the clone gets legal rights. Specifically, yours. You loose them. Property, inherent rights and dignities, titles, ect? all transfer. Of course, that does not help with someone designing an inherently servile mind, but it should be deterrent with some teeth.
There is no difference between "copy" and "original" for EMs, or any reason for the pre-copying Em to care about one more than the other.
So what happens if I create 100 clones before I'm stopped? 1/100th of my property, of a vote, of a social guarantee of a minimal standard of living, may be too little to survive on.
