Interesting tangent on this - Google Books just released a new set of policies for the different countries they sell in. I noticed that in the UK,
and in the UK *only*, they specifically say that Google Books may pass on your ebooks to your heirs when you die.
Every other country, you're out of luck.
Edit: My mistake, there's at least two other European countries where they will also do this (I don't speak all the languages, so there could be more
). They haven't yet released in those countries, and the email is talking about confidentiality, but "wow, must be an EU law" would be a good guess... Also, anyone else with a Google Partner account will have received the email and can go figure it out for themselves.
