And for some silly reason, I think that is actually an issue. We all know the 'Net is ubiquitous and cannot be brought down by terrorists, or nuclear weapons, or simple human error, that everyone backs-up everything on those same servers in huge server farms, that tech firms and their debtors never disagree, that creditors are always happy with tech firms. Did I miss anyone? Or am I just being overly paranoid? I suggest that so many people have fallen in love with the idea of the power that such technologies offer that they overlook the essential concept of self-sufficiency.
I can't argue legal terms as IANAL, but I know that there is very little that stands between a Banker and his money, and the Landlords and Tenants Act (or local variation thereof) definitely doesn't side with the Tenant. I doubt any pre-existing agreement on data ownership will stand up in a Court in the case of the collapse of the Service Provider, especially if the Creditor turns the server off.
