I would have made the head line "Apple needs to get better at handling death". This is a problem for all organizations and businesses that hold digital data when their customers die. Which of the heirs get access to the deceased's digital data? How is this access allowed? How do you transfer ownership of purchased digital property when the owner dies? All of these are a huge grey area in the law for the owners and the companies who have sold the digital rights and for the companies who hold data. — PING!

My take on it: with so much of our personal and professional lives on computers we need to be proactive in specifying the disposition of data.
