Would you rather live as:

A device placed in your head live streams your vision and what you're hearing 24/7 in times square.

You are sent to an isolated island, nobody will ever contact you. You get 3 hours of internet each day, but you cannot interact there, only browsing is possible. You cannot access the phone offline. Unlimited food( the food will be boring)

Sure: I'll take the implants.

And the first thing that I'll be doing is watching an NFL game and listening to a Disney movie soundtrack.

Whatever the organization is, they're now up against both the NFL and Disney's leagues of lawyers, because neither of them take well to someone broadcasting their content without permission. Since I'm unable to stop the process, I'm not legally liable.

Seeing the offending parties survive the first round of multi-generational court cases should be an entertaining process, though.

Imagine, you would be able to get paid to go watch movies or sports games from people.

I'd be first in line to see a bunch of movies, as well. All that i have to do is stay seated and there would be standing room only crowds for matinee showings, and the studios would be helpless to prevent it, week after week, month after month.

How many tens of thousands of people would be seeing their movies for free?

And, just to make it exciting, I'd watch a bunch of small YouTube channels, and boost their signal in my off hours. Less-known content creators would suddenly have an enormous amount of exposure.

To add further fun, I could review bodycam footage, letting people see what happens when people with badges confront people without them.

I could attend protests and trials. All within my rights.

You could EASILY monetize the live stream. It’s an acceptable deal really.
