As more of our lives move into the digital realm, the bequeathing of digital assets has the potential to become a huge issue. iTunes has already taken away the one album I purchased from them years ago. And from a legal standpoint, it is not yet clear what will happen to a digital account when someone dies. If we have an Amazon family account, could my husband or child simply take it over? Could digital media accounts be set up in such a way so that users can be ‘merged’ if someone passes away? Authors Evan Carroll and John Romano have begun to address these issues in Your Digital Afterlife, which has been getting some buzz online. http://www.teleread.com/will-happen-e-books-die/
