I bet soon after the first few people are made immortal this way, one of them will hack the banks, or the stock market, or countless other organizations.

And then you'd have the first court case and prison sentence for a non-human consciousness.

Which is just one step closer to the simulated hell for uploaded consciousnesses that get naughty, from Surface Detail by Ian Banks.

The show upload on amazon prime is basically this world. If you don't have as much money your instance can pause. You pay more money and have access to nicer things in the afterlife.

You'll have tiered processing, just like today. You can slum it out with limited simulation capabilities, or if you have a job you can afford the premium processor hours.

See the Amazon Prime series "Upload" (two seasons so far).

Rather funny, BTW, compared to most works around a similar premise.
