数字继承~Digital inheritance

数字继承是以数字资产和（自然人）受益人权利的形式移交（个人）数字媒体的过程。 该过程包括了解存在哪些数字资产和权利，以及在一个人死亡后对其进行处理。

随着数字媒体在生活中起着越来越重要的作用。 数字遗产所在的媒体可以由死者拥有或独立存在。 与实物资产相比，数字资产是短暂的，并且会不断变化。 知识产权和隐私，尤其是事后隐私，是相关的因素。 数字继承可能会给数据继承人带来复杂性和艰巨性的挑战，并可能产生法律影响。 在普通人拥有多个在线帐户的情况下，数字继承已成为一个复杂的问题。

Digital inheritance is the process of handing over (personal) digital media in the form of digital assets and rights to (human) beneficiaries. The process includes understanding what digital assets and rights exist and dealing with them after a person has died.

Digital media play an increasingly important role in life. The media in which a digital inheritance resides can be owned by or independent of the deceased. In contrast with physical assets, digital assets are ephemeral and subject to constant change. Intellectual property and privacy, particularly post-mortem privacy, are additional factors. Digital inheritance may present a challenge for data heirs in its complexity and intricacy, and may have legal implications. With the average person having multiple online accounts, digital inheritance has become a complex issue.
