User:MooCow1/Post-mortem privacy

I have several ideas thus far for this article. Firstly, I would like to outline the existing rights and laws pertaining to postmortem privacy. I think it would also be beneficial to discuss postmortem publicity laws since they were established from privacy law and have substantial overlap with privacy laws. In addition, there a a few significant court cases that address key aspects of these laws that could be mentioned as well. I would then like to discuss some of the concerns and challenges to postmortem privacy that are either not covered under already existing laws or are a result of them. This includes but is not limited to issues that have emerged in the digital age (i.e. online password protected accounts of deceased individuals, electronic wills, etc.). I also think it could be interesting to discuss the rising controversy over use of deceased artists' works and images.

I have compiled a list of potential sources for this article:
