I really wouldn’t trust the ‘cloud’ with any data, personally. The idea of handing your data storage over to a third party doesn’t make sense. Why store you files on a server farm 100 miles away when you can keep on your own personal HD which is only as insecure as you allow it to be. Even if it’s illegal, once they have your data, you can’t *stop* them from doing whatever they want with it- short of annihilating every last server they have. And sharing sites tend to delete things that get old, or for any other reason really. I suppose part of this stems from a time when the internet wasn’t as accessible as it is today. I knew if I wanted to see something again, I’d better save it to my HD. I really don’t see why the cloud is even necessary; since storage media continues to go down in price and physical size and up in storage capacity.

Since the cloud started to emerge I been struggling with why people want to store sensitive information in the cloud.

My conclusion, they have yet to understand that the cloud is not a safe place for important sensitive information, unless the cloud provider has gone to extreme measures to safe guard if for you. And most have not.

You’ve got to love the reasoning.

“And it certainly was unethical, or at least illegal or tortious,…But on our end, it’s simply news.”

How about this one:

“TechCrunch headquarters burglarized, all employee personal information posted on the web.”

Would that just make him say, “Sweet– you got us. Nice job.”

Apparently this company believes that once something is stolen, it is public property. So real crimes like “receiving stolen property” really just don’t exist in his world.

Tell me something, is there any good reason why any of us should do business in any way whatsoever with companies who talk like that? You do know that if your friend will talk about others behind their back, then he’ll talk about you too, right? So can a company that prides itself on distributing stolen property be trusted for ANYTHING AT ALL?

A company like that would probably install spyware through its web pages, saying “Hey, we’re just opportunistic, you know?” Good grief. Some people will do anything for a buck.
