Cloud = held to ransom

A graphic demonstration of why using cloud connected services and appliances is a stupid idea. You are always at the mercy of the provider, and if they go bust, or change focus, or move on to the next big thing, then you are stuffed.

As far as I know you have no legal recourse if a company decides to remove a cloud service they were providing for an appliance like this.
