People keep talking about “the cloud” like it’s something supper great and all their stuff will be safe on / in it.  But what is “the cloud” really?

I think people have this idea that when they upload their stuff to the cloud that it’s kind of everywhere on the internet and since it’s everywhere that it’s somehow safer.  What really happens is that your stuff is uploaded to a big server farm in a single location controlled by someone else who may or may not be backing your stuff up to another site or using it as marketing data to sell you other services.  Your stuff may also be shared with other companies.  So make sure all that music you upload to “the cloud” is backed up with receipts or CDs in a box somewhere.
