Give me my royalties, you damned dirty ape!
Because of their immense value to society, it is unlikely that actual content creators will be launched into space. Instead, the Music And Film Industries of America will hire "Temporal Whipping Boys" to credit with the creation of numerous works and then launch into space. Most likely, they will orbit the sun in a large elliptical orbit at or near the speed of light, similar to the orbit of a comet. By orbitting the sun they'll be able to periodically return to earth to verify that they are still alive and refuel their ships.
Despite their immense value to the content industries, there are many reasons to believe that the Temporal Whipping Boys will not be treated fairly. Because they will spend most of their time apart in deep space, it is unlikely that they will be able to establish a union. They are also likely to be mistreated since they will be outside the jurisdiction of the 13th amendment, essentially allowing the music and film industries to treat them as slaves.
Aside from the mistreatment, there are also several risks associated with deep space travel that will affect the Temoporal Whipping Boys. Here is a short list of dangers that could affect them:
Although it is likely that the ships will be equipped with shields, weapons, and a well trained crew, there are some dangers that are ever present. After all, no amount of photon torpedos can protect you from space madness!
