Yahoo

Everyone I’ve been warning you, get physical copies of everything you hold dear. Because if Apple, Amazon, and Netflix finds things you hold dear as morally unacceptable, they can remotely wipe your iPad or Kindle. They’ll wait until 3 years after Mel’s death to do it, but anyone who doesn’t own a physical copy of Blazing Saddles by now is a fool.

I’m up to 460 movies. And by the way, movies are cheap as all hell these days. Bought John Wayne’s almost entire film collection (Genghis Khan is not there for obvious reasons) for like $60.

They're not just talking about entertainment. Multiple local and national news organizations use Amazon cloud storage. Major companies of every kind are using those servers.

Holy hell, yes.

This, a 100 times over.


It's going to bad, and then it's going to get worse.

You clearly didn't read the article you shared.

I’m willing to bet in a decade I’m going to be the local drug dealer of old films. “Oh… 1962’s “To Kill a Mockingbird” that has 56 N-Bombs in it, so that’s going to cost you a pretty penny… Oh Chapelle’s Show the Complete Series, are you trying to get me killed? Of course I don’t own Chapelle’s Show…”

Ahhh, right on schedule

Does this include side loaded apps that might contain people acting with no clothes on?

Asking for a friend, of course.

Why would you store stuff on cloud when a multi terabyte external hard drive is cheap?

If it is local on your device then it is not in the cloud, I believe this means that they're going to be scanning volumes and s3 buckets for inappropriate content. I am curious if this includes scanning cloud assets for businesses.

Amazon is the company that is about to directly rape it. You may need to buy the trilogy (Extended Editions preferably) if you don’t own a physical copy personally.

Granted that one still costs a pretty penny unlike most DVDs since everyone is willing to pay that price. A hundred bucks for the Extended Editions. For reference all of Game of Thrones is the same price. If Game of Thrones didn’t frick up the ending they could sell it for three times that price. Instead Lord of the Rings did it triumphantly which is why they can charge that price for the Extended Editions and people will pay for it. Being nearly eight times longer, Game of Thrones failed.

I do wish Jackson and New Line knew how successful the Extended Editions would be, because then I’m sure they would have made “Return of the King” three discs and six hours long instead of four and a half adding in the Scouring of the Shire. That would have not been expensive to shoot relative to the rest of the movie.

Because you can drop a hard drive and lose terabytes of data in an instant. Ask me how I know.



That’s why I always have at least two back up hard drives. No reason not to considering how cheap they are

We’re not talking about individual users. This board isn’t pulling data from a bank of servers in Chicken’s garage. The digital world is running by way of the cloud.

I read that headline to say "you have no privacy if you use Amazon Cloud Services."
