What rights should a dead killer have?

VT officials are saying school rules prohibit them from releasing certain records about Cho.

NBC copyrighted the material he sent them, and saw a pike in viewership last evening. (Shouldn't NBC have simply called the FBI as soon as it saw the name and address of the sender? )

ACE has to wonder if he didn't grant exclusive rights to his biography to someone, who is hastily throwing a book together, to hit the bookstores soon.

A-C-E Question of the Day (for discussion in comments):

What rights should a deceased mass murderer (and his estate) retain?

Shouldn't a person forfeit his/her rights once he shows complete disregard for the rights of others?

And, a deeper question:

How many high profile crimes would be avoided if the perpetrators had no chance to achieve infamy from them?

In his diatribe, Cho mentions the Columbine killers. It seems obvious he wanted his name to to remembered like theirs.

The second question is academic. ACE is not in favor of laws restricting 1A rights, and given the many channels of information flow today, it's doubtful a name and face can be contained. Human nature is such that we want to know about these sickies.

And, the scariest question of all:

How long before a copycat kills even more people?

One of Cho's images shows him holding a pistol in each outstretched hand, like a star in an action movie. In real life, he was a maladjusted recluse who was ridiculed for how he spoke. We need to see images of him as a sniveling mouse he was, and photos of his ventilated, dead body. Anything we can do to show him the disrespect and belittlement he so deeply deserves might help deter a copycat. So, put on those thinking caps and post some ideas.
