Ditto. Stupid risk.
Quote from: Cain on July 31, 2011, 01:37:39 PM
Cloud computing, in general, is a terrible idea.

I know, it's only music.  But wait until the day the music industry gets to check your credit card purchases against your actually owned music.  Because it will happen.

And then Google will ban you from every service they provide, and you'll be fucked for forever.
The great majority of my music is legal and free from the record label that produces it, so I'm not terribly concerned.

I don't think anything on my computer is legal.

I don't like the idea of eventually paying rent for storage space for music you already purchased, which I think is the eventual goal.

And what's going to happen to sites like Trader's Den, Dimeadozen and archive.org when they say everything has to be in a crappy mp3 format on a cloud drive? They'll get my live shows on FLAC out of my cold dead hands..

My problem is much more basic. I can't imagine what would possess people to TRUST FUCKING GOOGLE with all of their data.

I suspect that people who think cloud computing is a great idea are the same people who will be first in line for the two-way vidscreens. You know, the ones that don't come with an "off" button.

I don't use Google, I use Dropbox. It's seriously fucking fantastic for files you need to access from another computer. Of course, I only use it for the dryest and most practical of files.

I don't think they're gonna do that. If they do, I'll dump them in a heartbeat and just buy a larger SD chip.

Fuck no. It's convenient, that's all.
