Quote - The sad part about a lot of this is that you don't own any of your software to begin with (Unless you wrote it). Almost all software rights are retained by the creator. Including the right to make you delete it from your system is you are found in violation of the EULA associated with it. Cloud storage violates almost every EULA out there.

 

in THEORY.  putting it into practice is another thing entirely.
good luck enforcing it while your users are running their own local machines.

a small example of this is way back when one of the major content providers tried to enforce a 'special' altered EULA after the fact for a character based on a minor celebrity.  in addition to the standard license there were other stipulations that it not be used in certain types of renders - offensive, pornographic, violent, endorsing a product, unflattering (lol), etc.  the userbase told them to go pound sand, the company took huge amounts of flak over it, and IIRC soon after they claimed the added restrictions had simply been a 'request'.

had those users been on a cloud, theyd have been completely at the mercy of the company and yanking their rights from under them would have been a trivial affair.  in fact, it would have been a simple matter for the company to say 'we have noticed that you have posted an image that violates the EULA for this product. your digital rights to the product have been revoked and your account has been closed'.

cloud computing tips 100% of the control over to the publisher. this is not a good situation for the customer to be in.
