There is an article in the 2/11/13 issue of Time magazine called "From Here to E-ternity - What happens to your virtual things when you are gone? E-book, domain names, music, photos, etc. Important reading about stuff that exists in a "cloud".

I think I have read somewhere, that as far as music and Apple are concerned, your collection (at least that bought from Apple) belongs to them and cannot be passed to heirs. Bruce willis was asking this question

The link below may answer some of your questions.

Hope this helps or is of interest. Maybe we should continue to buy real books and CDs, then we don't have this problem, or rather our relatives don't.

Thanks for the information.

I was more interested in all of the photo albums (Picasa, Flickr, etc) we have.
