“…A sufficiently severe blow to Facebook's finances could force a redesign of the platform with major implications for those currently using it as a memorial site (see, for instance, Arnold et al, 2018: 202 In what follows, we tentatively presume that Facebook or something like it will continue to exist for the foreseeable future. Each individual who leaves a profile behind represents a unique event in its own right, which often leaves us with difficult questions of inheritance of digital assets (Banta et al, 2015;Craig et al, 2013) and posthumous online privacy (Harbinja, 2014). But when aggregated, the totality of these cases amounts to something beyond the sum of its parts.…”

“…The phenomenon is gaining increasing traction within the academic community (Gotved, 2014). Scholars of law and related areas are investigating new dilemmas arising from inheritance of digital estates (Banta et al, 2015;Craig et al, 2013) and issues of posthumous online privacy (Harbinja, 2014). Sociologists and anthropologists are increasingly turning their gaze towards the new types of 'para-social' relationships (Sherlock, 2013), and the 'continuing bonds' (Bell et al, 2015) that we shape with the online dead.…”

We project the future accumulation of profiles belonging to deceased Facebook users. Our analysis suggests that a minimum of 1.4 billion users will pass away before 2100 if Facebook ceases to attract new users as of 2018. If the network continues expanding at current rates, however, this number will exceed 4.9 billion. In both cases, a majority of the profiles will belong to non-Western users. In discussing our findings, we draw on the emerging scholarship on digital preservation and stress the challenges arising from curating the profiles of the deceased. We argue that an exclusively commercial approach to data preservation poses important ethical and political risks that demand urgent consideration. We call for a scalable, sustainable, and dignified curation model that incorporates the interests of multiple stakeholders.

“…In turn, digital accounts are email accounts, software licenses, social network and social media accounts, financial management accounts, domain names, web hosting accounts, online stores, affiliate programs and any other existing or future digital accounts. Bellamy et al (2014) use the term "digital property" to refer to all digital assets. For Brubaker et al (2014), digital heritage consists in the full set of digital properties a user leaves behind to an heir.…”

“…Es el caso de Amazon, cuyos usuarios, en un alto porcentaje, desconocen que lo que han firmado al adquirir sus lectores de libros electrónicos es un contrato de alquiler, no de venta, y que, en la mayoría de los casos ni el lector ni los libros les pertenecen, lo que implicaría que tampoco podrían venderlo o legarlo a sus familiares, como sí harían con su biblioteca física (Bellamy 2014). …”

ResumenLa irrupción de las nuevas tecnologías ha traído consigo muchos nuevos patrones de comportamiento, entre ellos el cambio de la lectura y los lectores. Junto con los libros electrónicos han aparecido los lectores digitales, y sus derechos. Se presenta una metodología de revisión sistemática de literatura, que está resultando muy útil en distintas áreas del conocimiento en cuanto a reducir tiempo y esfuerzo, con resultados muy acertados. Se analiza, en base a los resultados obtenidos por la revisión sistemática de bibliografía, si el sistema normativo y mercantil ha sabido adaptarse al panorama de los libros electrónicos y si los derechos de los lectores digitales están siendo tenidos en cuenta. Palabras claveLectores digitales, Normativa, Libros electrónicos, Derechos, Revisión sistemática de la literatura, Metodología de búsqueda AbstractThe emergence of new technologies has brought with it many new patterns of behavior, including changing readership and reading. Along with e-books have appeared digital readers, and, along with them, their rights. a methodology of systematic literature review, which is proving very useful in different areas of knowledge as to reduce time and effort with very successful results is presented. Based on the results obtained by the systematic literature review, it is analyzed whether the normative and mercantile system has been able to adapt to the panorama of electronic books and if the rights of digital readers are being taken into account.
