Wrong. Every cloud service contract says that YOU own your data.

Sure that contract is really going to stop anyone in the data center from looking at your data, and hackers would never think about going after such a large target, and data centers never lose data and if your contract lapses for some reason you will always be able to recover your data.

Do you know how expensive even tier 3 storage is? Even with economies of scale there is no way you could get 2 tb of "cloud" storage for the equivalent of a 2tb external HD. What do you think their motive is?

When the "networked society" is mature enough to allow the average user to access their own data on a home machine then it will be something.
