Abstract
Should the European Union recognise a right to a "digital legacy"? How should self-determination be reconciled with the restrictions on testamentary freedom in the patrimonial realm?

It is suggested that libertarian and dignitarian cultures of privacy and the law of succession play a fundamental role in shaping these modelsFile in questo prodotto:
