  • “We have shifted away from letters in a shoe boxes to email messages and Facebook. There is a lot more traceable communication floating around.”
  • Lawmakers have been slow to enact legislation related to digital property after death, and social media companies have relied on terms of service to guide them.
  • “There is a crying need for a uniform law that would grant a unified way of addressing the issue throughout the country,”
  • In 2005, Connecticut was the first to establish a digital assets law.
  • Facebook’s terms of service say it will not issue login and password information to family members of a person who has died. A family member can contact Facebook and request the dead person’s profile be taken down or turned into a memorial page.
  • Gmail and Hotmail will mail the estate holder a CD with the decedent’s account information, after the beneficiary of the estate sends the required information.
  • It’s hard to tell the impact of the five state laws on online property post-death since the laws have hardly been utilized.

  • Fourth myth: We know that copyright makes us collectively better off. The evidence points in the opposite direction. Germany had weak copyright laws up until the Copyright Act of 1901. Yet, maybe because of these weak laws, it became a literary and scientific power: (…), only 1,000 new works appeared annually in England at that time – 10 times fewer than in Germany – and this was not without consequences. Höffner believes it was the chronically weak book market that caused England, the colonial power, to fritter away its head start within the span of a century, while the underdeveloped agrarian state of Germany caught up rapidly, becoming an equally developed industrial nation by 1900.

Instead, I have patrons: funding agencies, students, and blog readers. But if we insist on having copyright, it should at least be limited to a short term (say 5 years or less).
