Abstract: When the painter Harold Cohen died in the last 27 th April some people questioned about the future for its robotic partner Aaron: who will take care of it now and, more important, to whom is to benefit from its production and selling? This paper aims to discuss exactly the extent in which machines can become independent/autonomous communicators and artists, both from a technical (software programming) and legal perspective. In this sense, if machines can be technically programmed to communicate, socialize, and produce art, the issue evolves to the legal outlook: do have machines a legal personhood? Can they be credited with authorship (copyright) and ownership (patents) – benefiting from an economic point of view? And finally what happens if a machine, for instance, misinforms somebody (in a communicative interaction) or infringes any copyrighted material? Here is presented such interplay between technology and law, and between expressive agents – either from silicon or carbon
