A dispute over a "hologram" Marilyn Monroe could decide the future of what promises to become a hugely licratuve new form of entretainment: the digital resirrection of dead celebrities
Digicon Media, a los Angeles company that describes itself as a pioneer in the field of "virtual actors" says it has copyrighted a "Virtual Marilyn", which it plansto use in live stage shows. It claims that its re-creation ofthe actress has existed online since the 1990's. It contends that its digital version, which it plans to transform into a hologram og the performer, is now sufficiently distinct from the original to havean effectively taken on a legal life of its own.
