We need a long think about digital survivorship: accounts/data should be able to be escrowed/put into Trusts for future generations. Most terms of service agreements are between you specifically and the company, and will not survive you. "Could I gift my account/purchases when I pass to my loved ones?" is currently "legally and/or technically no" on almost every digital goods service.
Even if we have mostly given up on the more general "right of first sale" and "first sale doctrine" on digital goods (that we can resell purchases as "used"), survivorship should not be forgotten.
