I applaud Yahoo for adhearing to their policies. All the familly has to do is send legal documents of their son's death, and legal documents stating who they are. At that point I'm sure the account information will be released as per Yahoo's policy. Instead of trying to get the media involved, they should be getting their laywer involved as the clock's ticking on the 90 no-activity delete. Their lawyer will know the correct documents to send over to yahoo as proof of their son's death and that his parents have control over their dead son's belongings/estate. Perhaps what yahoo *could* do, or *should* do, is remove the 90 day time-out on their son's e-mail account until they can have a chance of going through the courts. Perhaps extend it up to 365 days...

If their refusal to release that mail even after their customer is dead
is
an indication as to their privacy practices, three cheers for Yahoo. Don't you get the whole "slippery slope" thing? If it's ok when you're dead (which it's not, my stuff is my stuff...destroy it when you're sure I've really shuffled off elsewhere, unless I gave you very specific instructions otherwise) then maybe it's ok if you are in a coma...then maybe it's ok if you are really sick and someone else is your legal guardian becaue you've been declared non-compos mentis...then maybe it's ok if it's your parents...or your wife...or a concerned neighbor... What's in that mailbox is/was mine, none of your business unless I chose to share it.i couldnt agree more... another case of lame, illogical media bullshit BRAVO YAHOO happy hollidays, m.w _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
