"it is a solution in search of a problem."
Actually it is a problem in search of innocent victims
in my view.
Understand, I am not Completely Opposed to "remote storage" of Data as a backup option .
Technically DAZ & others have been Keeping copies of All of our purchased Content in their "Clouds" years before the term "Cloud" took on this new linguistic meaning in the modern tech vernacular.
The Economically Discriminatory requirement for constant broadband access aside,
However the cynic in me tends to views this urgent push ,by some, for Keeping even the means of production in the cloud, (ie content creation apps) ,as an attempt to usurp my personal creative freedom in choosing how&when to use my creative Tools
leaving it up to the whims of some corporate monolith.
Also in light of recent revelations about the Collusion between
ISP companies and Intelligence Agencies.
How long before they could start monitoring what creative people are producing with cloud based 3D/CG programs in the name of
"homeland Security"
Imagine the day when innocent creative producers are in danger of being hauled away by the FBI because some so called "analyst" ,monitoring your cloud based version of Autocad, believed you were modeling parts for a bomb to be 3D printed.
