Not that I would not be a bit miffed if personal files disappeared, but that's one of the risks associated with using a cloud service for file storage. It could have been a fire, a virus erasing file, bankruptcy, malicious insider damage... Doesn't matter, you lost access to legit content in the crossfire.
I'm not sure this is actually true. The Law generally recognizes 'accident' as a means for relieving people of responsibility for criminal acts -- it can't *be* a criminal act without scienter on the part of the doer. In this case, the doer was negligent, rather than purposefully malicious, but we have solutions for that as well. I hope that we don't see a class-action lawsuit against the feds... I wanna see them have to defend each case individually. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
