Last week Apple locked me out of my iTunes account, and I can't even update the apps I already have installed on my iPad.
I'm done with cloud-based content. I'll continue to use dumb storage like Dropbox and S3, and I'm ok with subscription services like Netflix and rdio. But any service that pretends that I "own" content that can be yanked away with the flick of a switch to be restored only after weeks of haggling with an understaffed and indifferent bureaucracy can go fuck itself.
Of course, once again, it's only the people that play by the rules that suffer.
