That's some bull . I need to read the T&C's of my service provider contracts.
"On Tuesday the EFF filed a brief proposing a process for the Court in the Megaupload case to hold the government accountable for the actions it took (and failed to take) when it shut down Megaupload's service and denied third parties access to their property. Many businesses used Megaupload's cloud service to store and share files not related to piracy. The government is calling for a long, drawn-out process that would require individuals or small companies to travel to courts far away and engage in multiple hearings just to get their own property back. Additionally, the government's argument that you lose all your property rights by storing your data on the cloud could apply to Amazon's S3 or Google Apps or Apple iCloud services as well (see page 4 of their filing)."

This is very ed up.
I wonder if they can then use the info they find on the Cloud to get a warrant to search and seize info on your personal storage.
Can't say I'm surprised at all. Of course, the logic is asinine. I don't own the vault at the bank either, but the money is still mine. I guess this will just mean that people will have to encrypt their own data...
The police state doesn't give a about your provider contracts. And providers provide whatever and whenever the govt wants info.
^ very true
different day . . .
sad but true
I bet the FBI/CIA has sucked down the entire ST political forum.
Then you're on some kind of list to be sure.
if boutons is, we're all on it, probably.
gross
I've seen much grosser at the Club today.
This is how Obama is boosting the low gains we have in the economy.
make business hire more of his lawyer buddies!
Don't be so sure...
I wonder how businesses feel about this?
The police state will keep advancing deeper into our lives, and your buddy Bishop Gecko, nor any President, won't do anything to stop it.
I really wish "they" had not chosen the term cloud storage to describe all of this. it give some people an image that it is stored in thin air when your data is just stored on other people's servers. I wonder how many people actually read their license agreement.
Actually, the bank does with your money whatever it wants until you "take it back."
I'm amazed that any business would use such places.
Why?
what do you mean?
Other than bottom line, redundancy, uptime, scaling, etc?
The "cloud" is huge. Google, MS, Amazon, etc ALL offer clould storage and cloud computing.
The cloud is not only storage, but mail, website, processor renting, etc.
Tbh, the delusional fools on here who think there's a difference between Team Red and Team Blue must be straight comedy for them...
It's funny how people say this, but then when anyone who WILL end the police state runs for president, both teams immediately label them as crazy, isolationist, unelectable racists....
As ElNoNo pointed out below, there are tons of benefits to cloud computing/storage. Lack of physical ownership is pretty much the only downside.
