Bruce Willis, one of the biggest actors in Hollywood is known for his huge music collection. There have been a lot of discussions on what would happen to his precious set after his death.
Specifically, the actor is said to be contemplating on a suit against Apple for failure to preserve his iTunes account after he passes away, considering that he has invested a lot in getting all the hits and tracks available from the popular website.
Willis? wife, Emma Heming (@EmmaHeming)?relied on the social networking site Twitter to dispute the controversies surrounding the issue.
She tweeted that the claims earlier made by British media that Bruce Willis is planning to file a case against Apple to maintain the rights on his iTunes account after he dies.
She tweeted, ?not a true story.?
The Daily Mail is the British newswire that raised the discussion.
Many individuals might contemplate the validity of either side, considering that Bruce Willis himself has not provided any word about the reports and Heming?s Twitter account is not yet verified by the social media site.
The stories may or may not be true, but these are very interesting issues to ponder on for individuals, particularly involved in the entertainment industry. Intellectual property bought and stored in different social media sites as well as the rights over the materials acquired will have to be covered more thoroughly particularly after the owner has passed away. Some people value the content very much and might be interested to pass it on to others to inherit.
Tim Worstall of Forbes indicated that "few of us have any significant portion of our wealth tied up in such digital goods. But it?s obviously going to be something that looms larger in years to come. And I have a feeling that we?re going to need some legal clarification on who really does own what after someone?s death."
Social media has been embraced by millions around the world with many investing thousands of dollars every year getting content for their own personal use. Many sites like Twitter have become effective tools in sharing news and content with ease.
