This might be true in the wording, but if it is true in a higher sense:  

  Are you yourself copyrightable?

If you are not copyrightable and are moving in public, then: is 
everyone allowed to make a copy of your body without your consent?

Do you think, that you, the original, are worth more than any copy of 
yours? 

Otherwise: is it okay for you, that your copy is able to empty your 
bank-account, because for the bank your copy is indistinguishable from 
yourself?

Please note again, that this is an appeal to a higher sense, i.e. at 
least assume that the technical issues for copying humans are solvable 
within a short period of your lifetime.
