Just think. At least you can sell off those nick-nacks. What value is there in digital goods you don’t want?
Nobody wanted my grandparents collected crap. Or their photos. Or their books. I tried giving them away. I tried consignment. I tried posting them on Facebook. Most ended up in a landfill.
Hadn’t thought of it like that. I wish I could at least donate my digital library, though.
Yeah - I'm totally for full, real, actual ownership of digital stuff, and we should be able to give it away.
But I'd be surprised if my kids would be interested in more than a tiny fraction of it. Or anyone else, for that matter.
