As an aside, how could Dotcom be a real name?

IIRC, recently there was a cloud storage company in the USA that got shut down by the feds because some of their members were storing data they didn't own.

Not sure who exactly you're talking about but Mega Upload was shut down by the FBI, courtesy of the NZ Police. It's been a complete farce and the extradition of Kim Dotcom is slowly grinding its way through the courts. It's sounding less likely to succeed as time goes by.

Not that Mr Dotcom is squeaky clean himself... but I think the balance of public opinion is on his side.



The why it was shut down is immaterial to the discussion. The point is, it was shut down, and anyone who had data stored on his server either lost their data or were very inconvenienced. Anyone who is depending on cloud storage should be looking at this as the potential end result of all their carefully uploaded data.

Don't lose heart!  They might want to cut it out, and they'll want to avoid a 
lengthily search.
