I don't think (or would like to think) that computers will ever experience things the way humans do. No matter how advanced technology may be, you can't program "feelings" into a computer. One might be able to program the five senses into a robot, but that robot still wouldn't be able to have the same reactions as a human would with those five senses. A robot will not cry when it is hurt, or get angry if you ignore it. They might be able to stimulate an intelligent conversation with you, but it could never feel as genuine as a human connection. Robots do have their glitches.
Because of this, computers should not be given any "rights". Lots of living things experience consciousness the way humans do, but they don't have the same "rights" as humans. Computers are not human beings, nor living things (by definition), so they shouldn't be entitled to any rights. They don't need it. Computers are created, controlled and owned by humans for their convenience and that's how it should remain. A computer's rights should not be able to be contested in court.
