Basically I am a HUGE fan of companies actually selling medication for illnesses I actually have

As am I, provided that the medicine is very safe, usually effective, and reasonably priced. Homeopathy is neither effective nor reasonably priced, and occasionally it isn't even safe either.
Homeopathy is basically a scam that persists due to momentum, not because it has any real value.

As far as AI's immigrating... It may not be possible. The software that is required to run an AI may be to big and complex to be transferred entirely over the internet. Even then you would only be making a copy, the original would have to be deleted... a thinking, feeling program may have problems with that, even knowing there is a copy if itself out there. They may not even consider a copy to be the same person. Each hardware setup will be different, so it could be like having different physical brains to them... They wouldn't feel it was the same them if their software was installed in different hardware.

What about Momo?
EDIT about 3 seconds later: I suppose the hardware running the AI could be moved between chassis, with standard connections.

Think of being consciously awake, but being cut off from every kind of sensation. Being awake while not seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting or feeling anything. That seems to me like a nightmare that can drive people/conscious AI mad.

Yeah, that happened in Schlock Mercenary last year.
