"Action movie legend Bruce Willis is apparently eyeing up a legal battle in order to guarantee that he can pass his massive iTunes library onto his children when he dies.

The Daily Mail is reporting that Willis is concerned about the fact that upon his death his entire music collection will revert to Apple ownership. As a result, he's taking some major steps to ensure that his tunes instead pass directly to his three daughters . . . "

LOL!

I didn't know iPods are able to tell when their first owner dies but I can totally see an iProduct calling home to report that it is officially "OK" to reclaim all ownership in the contents that were used or created with stolen technology that was later patented by Apple.

So iTunes now owns the rights to all music throughout the universe?

What a stupid waste of time. BUT it is an interesting precedent I suppose and was a good laugh.
Wait, isn't anything worth anything already "willable"? Maybe it is just a big waste of time with value.

Interesting. That very thing happened to me recently when my dad died and I inherited his iMac with a whole bunch of iTunes downloads on it, most of which I didn't care for. But there were a few tunes that I wanted to commandeer but couldn't. Apple took them back. Kinda sad when I think about it.

Curious to see how this one pans out.
