摘要: 数字财产是自然人留存于网络空间或移动终端设备中、具备金钱价值的数字资源,理应依法继承。不含金钱价值的数字资源不具备可继承性。遗属为尽虔、尽孝思而享有的亲属利益,应适用人格权法加以保护。数字财产继承面临的阻碍有二:一是网络平台实际剥夺用户的数字财产所有权;二是用户及其通信伙伴的隐私利益需受保护。平台排除用户数字财产所有权的格式条款,因不符合程序正义而未订入,因显失公平而无效。允许内含隐私的数字财产继承,会损及死者及其通信伙伴之人格尊严与精神自由,故内含隐私的数字财产,在未有死者及其通信伙伴同意继承的明示授意下,不得继承。

关键词: 数字财产, 遗产, 继承

Abstract: Digital property is a digital resource with monetary value left by natural persons in cyberspace or mobile terminal equipment. It should be inherited in accordance with the law. The digital resource that does not have monetary value is not inheritable. The law of personality rights should be applied to protecting relatives’ interests enjoyed by family members of deceased for the sake of piousness and filial piety. The inheritance of digital property faces two obstacles: one is the user ownership of digital property actually deprived by the network platform; the other is the necessity to protect the privacy interests of users and their communication partners. The standard terms excluding users’ ownership of digital property are not included due to the failure to conform to procedural justice, and are invalid due to the obvious unfairness. Personal dignity and spiritual freedom of the deceased and his communication partners will be damaged by allowing the inheritance of digital property with privacy. As a result, the inheritance of digital property with privacy shall not be allowed without the consent of the deceased and his communication partners. 

Key words: digital property, inheritance, inherit
