The primary threat is not from the heirs (although that is a threat,
and you don't have control over all your heirs - your parents and
cousins can qualify), it's from litigious corporations who come and
take the copyright away from you using lawyer-strongarm tactics. This
happens *all the time*. It just happened to 'DVD Decrypter' the other
week.
