ABSTRACT
… The cases discussed in this paper seem to provide the pathway that I tentatively identified. Hence the title ‘Digital Property Revisited’. In the paper I discuss two cases – one, a case about whether or not there can be property in the contents of files on a computer and hard drive including emails. The second case involves a consideration of cryptocurrencies and whether these can be property within the context of a company insolvency. The two cases are interrelated in that they deal with different aspects of digital material and which is presented in a different way. An analytical pathway to determine whether these and other types of digital data may be property is proposed.
