Fate of digital assets 'vague' after death


When you die, does your Facebook account die with you? Or that online photo album? What about your iTunes playlist, blogs or tweets?
The logo of social networking website Facebook is displayed on a computer screen. Laws in the US and elsewhere are vague on the fate of digital rights to online accounts after death, leading to complications and legal wrangling for survivors who want access to the online services of the deceased.
Laws in the United States and elsewhere are vague on the fate of digital rights to online accounts after death, leading to complications and legal wrangling for survivors who want access to the online services of the deceased.
Legal experts say it's unclear who owns what in the Internet "cloud," and that in some cases the user agreement for email or social networking sites terminates when a person dies.
In the case of online photo albums, "those photos are yours and you have a copyright, but the problem is if you upload them to a site like Shutterfly, the property you own is now stuck behind a license," said Nathan Dosch, a Wisconsin attorney specializing in estate planning.
"The underlying asset is still owned by you but the access terminates on your death. The same can be said about emails."
Gerry Beyer, a professor at Texas Tech University School of Law, said the definition of "digital assets" remains subject to interpretation. A key issue is whether what is in the online accounts is "property" with any value. FULL ARTICLE: Bangkok Post
