" Someone who owned 10,000 hardcover books and the same number of vinyl records could bequeath them to descendants, but legal experts say passing on iTunes and Kindle libraries would be much more complicated.
And one's heirs stand to lose huge sums of money. “I find it hard to imagine a situation where a family would be OK with losing a collection of 10,000 books and songs,” says Evan Carroll, co-author of “Your Digital Afterlife.” “Legally dividing one account among several heirs would also be extremely difficult.”
Not me as I own a personal Library of around 1500 books and includes 303 vintage science fiction pulp magazines.I do not own one ebook nor will I ever own an ebook. http://www.bigmeathammer.com/gallery.htm Just some of the goodies I own.I actually was at the Portland,ME Pub Library today and spoke to Jim at the Reference Desk about Donating all of my Pulps to the Library in my Will providing the Collection is maintained and kept whole with no pieces ever being sold off.
Chris Dodd is a piece of shit.Democrats also want to screw us when it comes to the Internet.Equal Opportunity Greedsters.
Boycott the MAFIAA
Support INDIE Art.
Not surprised as we are all aware at this point that many Politicians from all Parties are gladly taking the MAFIAA Money.You really think the other side is different well Lamar Smith is a Republican.The MAFIAA is an Equal Opportunity Corrupter.
So I should just love these guys and mindlessly accept them even though I have been hassled numerous times ?
And I am White but have hair to my shoulders so is it because they feel like I am a "Druggie" or something ? Cops used to bother me in the early 70's like these guys.I would not call their behavior isolated.Just in the first week of July my Mom died and her brother and his Wife flew down for the funeral in Aventura.He is 84 or so and was hassled and his wife was hassled because she has one of those bags for going to the bathroom ( I forget what they call them) as she has had Cancer before.
This is all I need say::::::::::::::::::::::
Gabriela Mercer, the likely Republican congressional candidate in Arizona's new 3rd District, once declared that the only goal of Middle Easterners crossing America's southern border was to "cause harm to the United States."
"I don't have the numbers -- I remember taking notes, but if I remember correctly, it was 25,000 that they were able to apprehend, other than Mexicans," Mercer said in an interview with the conservative website Western Free Press.
"That includes Chinese, other Middle Easterners. If you know Middle Easterners, a lot of them, they look Mexican or they look like a lot of people in South America: dark skin, dark hair, brown eyes. And they mix, they mix in. And those people, their only goal in life is to cause harm to the United States. So why do we want them here, either legally or illegally? When they come across the border -- besides the trash that they leave behind, the drug smugglings, the killings, the beheadings -- you are seeing stuff: it's a war out there."
Later in the interview, Mercer, a Tea Party favorite who seems poised to win the right to challenge Rep. Raul Grijalva this November, discussed the damage that illegal immigration was causing to "the habitat."
I agree with you.I do not accept the Apology.He and others like him do not have to do what they do.I am very sick and very angry at this Political System.

I am an Artist and I put out Music and I also share all my Music for free.Come on over to www.bigmeathammer.com where my Band resides.I have close to 6 Albums of Material given away for free and with my permission to share.
That being said (whether you believe me or not) I do support the views of Techdirt and am very glad a Site like this exists.
Lastly, I will never allow the MPAA,RIAA, ETC a dime out of my Wallet and I mean it.Whatever money I can spend will be spent on Local Art and on the greater Indie Art Scene.
I want to see the Big Boys go Extinct.They have preyed upon us for to long and I hope their day is coming.
