Download — A Universe from the Mind of Hungry Guy

In the near future, technology will exist that will let people scan physical objects, store their "matter map" on computer, and make multiple new copies. People routinely upload and download vacuum cleaners, car parts, microwave ovens, boom-boxes, pets, etc. and go to office supply stores to assemble new copies of the objects that they downloaded. Invariably, some people have begun the practice of scanning THEMSELVES and then uploading digital copies of themselves to such sites as Napster.com, for example. What mischief and adventure awaits those who are daring (or crazy) enough to let total strangers download and enslave clones of them? Sex slaves are a popular download, especially since the law regards a cloned person as no different than a pet animal. I have made this an open universe. But before you contribute to this universe, please read BENNIE DOWNLOADS MARYA that first appeared on Bewildering Stories issue #181, January 2006 ( http://www.bewilderingstories.com/issue181/bennie1.html ), and also SATHYA DOWNLOADS BENNIE that that first appeared on Bewildering Stories issue #201, June 2006 ( http://www.bewilderingstories.com/issue201/sathya_bennie1.html ). I would also appreciate it if you would pass your story by me before you post it so that I can let you know if it conflicts with the history of my universe. Thanks!
