Many people prefer "black and white" answers to questions. However, when preparing for someone's digital after school life it is not that simple. The next ten concepts are aimed not only to make you think about your computer's real estate plan but also to provide suggestions on how to get started.
1. Mine belongs to me, your belongs to me
With computer software and the Internet, we introduced the world of esoteric assets and non-traditional property. Digital information reclassifies terms such as "mine" and "property". Often when you open an online account or download software, you do not own the actual content. Rather, I am receiving the right to access that content (called limited license).
If you click "I agree" to the service provider's agreement, that license will be granted to you and will not generally be granted to you or anyone else. It is the length of a small text that pops up on the screen each time you open a new online account.
Example: For many years, individuals have built a huge iTunes collection with $ 10,000. He does not own songs like traditional records, cassettes or CDs, but he (and he alone) has the right to listen to those songs. What happens to that collection when he dies? He never "owned" it. Therefore, "it" (which actually only accesses the song) can not be sold or transferred.
2. Titans' crash
As discussions are deepening among information dissemination (end users freely share access) and non-disclosure (companies that have secured assets and decided to protect their customers), nobody is still able to easily deal with this complex problem I have no idea of a problem. King Solomon, in this case "nobody" means federal and state law. Currently there are few states where proper legislation is taking place, so leaving the federal government.
3. Federal Copyright Infringement Law - a good idea to know that they exist
Have you shared your passwords with family, friends, collections? How about a business partner or your will executive? After that, you may be in breach of the terms of your online agreement (the contract mentioned above) and the federal anti-piracy law (with millions of others) data).
4. Return to the future
2000 years ago, it is said that the knowledge base of civilization was doubling in about 1000 years. Today I am doubling the base every two weeks. Laws are generally behind by 2 to 1/2 steps from society and I think that they are related to digital information. What will people do until test cases are heard and more different laws are followed?
5. I took the first step
I feel good about that. Reading such an article and considering the concept is to notice. I know about half of battle.
6. What is next? It does not include obscurity.
There is no need to be bothered by the protection of digital data. It is not necessary to backup everything in hard copy. Instead, if there is free time next, get your account and list it in a safe place with your password (by the way there is an app).
7. Catch-22 will go out soon someday
It is a good idea to give a list to someone despite the possibility of violating the Piracy Act. (The warning in the previous sentence is a good indicator of the challenges we are faced with) Monitor your data, add and delete accounts, change your password, accept your new list, Please revise and update to the appropriate person.
8. When they die, we delete
No, it's not that simple. Considering only social media, every platform has its own conditions to deal with the death of the account owner. There are few simple terms of deletion at the 6-month pause.
Wikipedia has a page titled "Death and the Internet". There are service conditions that certain providers follow when sharing information or dormant accounts. It is worth noting which of these providers is likely to use which of the available policies. One thing that soon became clear is that there is nothing like industry standards.
9. Permission to manage digital media
Yes, there is such a thing. In fact, law firms have begun to include power to manage clients with digital media. It is a trustworthy and durable lawyer. This does not solve all problems, but it is certainly a step in the right direction.
10. "The best thing you can do"
This is a lawyer's response to a general question about digital data. "Sometimes, they are dissatisfied with the answer," he added. In this rapidly evolving information age you can understand that some people may feel that way. Still, "doing the best" is a sense of security that you can save time monitoring your online accounts, rather than constantly worrying about digital data. Do this using the following procedure.
a. Prepare and maintain a list of your accounts and passwords.
b. Continue to tell people how to get that information (while keeping the anti-piracy law behind your heart).
c. I will examine how digital life is handled,
d. Add digital data to the asset category when creating or modifying the will and real estate documents.
