But this raises some questions inside me. Maybe some one can shed some light here.
1. The physical letters that I send to a friend are with my friend. So he is now owner of it and when he dies, it goes to his legal heir. Though I am the one who wrote them. Should it not belong to my heirs since I am the creator ?
2. If we are mapping online to offline equivalents, who inherits the facebook messages ? Is it the sender or receiver ? The messages contain both sent and received items as in discussions.
- pc86 8y agoTo point 1, no. Once your friend gets them they're your friend's property. He dies, his heirs get his property (contingent on the contents of his Will). That you wrote the letter is irrelevant to the fact that it was his property.
- 5555624 8y agoI send a friend a physical copy of a letter and they own that copy. I still have a digital copy -- I use a word processor for all my letters -- so I own that copy. Does one take precedence? Can one of us "publish" the letter when the other dies?
- xg15 8y ago> who inherits the facebook messages ? Is it the sender or receiver I'd argue both, for the simple reason they both have a copy of the message.
