I have my computer set up in a "dead man's switch" configuration. If I do not actively reset the countdown timer every week, the computer will assumes that I'm dead and post the entire contents of my media drive to various Usenet newsgroups and torrent sites. Also published will be a list of my enemies, one or more of which may have been responsible for my death.

Excellent advice! Thanks! One way to deal with that might be to separately provide your executor with the info ahead of time.

When the last physical representation of the copy you purchased has expired, it will join you in heaven (or hell). And no DRM. So I'm told.

My library is mostly backed up on disk. It will go to anyone who shows an interest.
Heck I may make several copies just so I can screw the publishers one last time.
