等我们死了：我的Email和网络账号要怎么办？
<p>数字财产的范畴可包含软件、网站、下载内容、网络游戏账号、社交媒体账户甚至是电子邮件。仅在英国，人们持有的数字音乐总价值就可能超过90亿英镑(140亿美元)。</p><p><span word="What">What</span> <span word="happens">happens</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="our">our</span> <span word="digital">digital</span> <span word="property">property</span> <span word="after">after</span> <span word="we">we</span> <span word="die">die</span>?</p><p>人死如灯灭，数据之火烧何方？</p><p><span word="Wait">Wait</span>! <span word="I">I</span> <span word="found">found</span> <span word="his">his</span> <span word="iTunes">iTunes</span> <span word="password">password</span></p><p>等下！我找到他的<span word="iTunes">iTunes</span>密码了！</p><p><span word="LORNE">LORNE</span> <span word="GLADSTONE">GLADSTONE</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="Toronto">Toronto</span> <span word="is">is</span> 58, <span word="but">but</span> <span word="prudently">prudently</span> <span word="pondering">pondering</span> <span word="how">how</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="bequeath">bequeath</span> <span word="his">his</span> <span word="digital">digital</span> <span word="property">property</span>. <span word="Doing">Doing</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="paperwork">paperwork</span> <span word="after">after</span> <span word="his">his</span> <span word="parents">parents</span>’ <span word="death">death</span> <span word="was">was</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="challenge">challenge</span>. “<span word="When">When</span> <span word="my">my</span> <span word="time">time</span> <span word="comes">comes</span>, <span word="I">I</span> <span word="wonder">wonder</span> <span word="if">if</span> <span word="my">my</span> <span word="children">children</span> <span word="will">will</span> <span word="even">even</span> <span word="know">know</span> <span word="what">what</span> <span word="paper">paper</span> <span word="is">is</span>,” <span word="he">he</span> <span word="says">says</span>. <span word="As">As</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="software">software</span> <span word="developer">developer</span>, <span word="his">his</span> <span word="virtual">virtual</span> <span word="assets">assets</span> <span word="are">are</span> <span word="both">both</span> <span word="valuable">valuable</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="vital">vital</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="his">his</span> <span word="business">business</span>. <span word="That">That</span> <span word="exemplifies">exemplifies</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="problem">problem</span>. <span word="Online">Online</span> <span word="lives">lives</span> <span word="have">have</span> <span word="increasing">increasing</span> <span word="economic">economic</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="sentimental">sentimental</span> <span word="value">value</span>. <span word="But">But</span> <span word="testamentary">testamentary</span> <span word="laws">laws</span> <span word="offer">offer</span> <span word="muddled">muddled</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="incomplete">incomplete</span> <span word="ways">ways</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="bequeathing">bequeathing</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="inheriting">inheriting</span> <span word="them">them</span>。</p><p>来自多伦多的洛恩•格莱斯顿现年58岁，但他如今已在慎重考虑自己数字财产的处置问题了。对格莱斯顿来说，当年同父母遗留下的书面文件打交道就曾颇费力气。他说道：“当我百年之后，我都怀疑我的子女们是否知道什么叫书面文件”。作为一名软件开发者，格莱斯顿的虚拟财产对其工作的价值及重要性不言而喻。这突显出一个问题：线上生活的经济与情感价值在不断上升，然而对遗赠者和继承者而言，遗嘱法律仍然语焉不详，不甚完善。</p>
