That raises an interesting issue. I assume, Apple being Apple, that when we all sign up for iCloud the EULA will force us to sign away any damages/loss rights incurred due to such "glitches". I can easily see it: "Sorry, we have no record of you ever owning XXX or YYY. Please repurchase your desired content..." Call me paranoid, but consigning all my digital content to a large, foreign, amorphous, ethereal thing like a "cloud" gives me the jeebies. I too keep private copies of everything I deem valuable so that whether it resides in a "cloud" or on my local machine is only a matter of access convenience for me, and not a question of ownership or permanence. - Nate _______________________________________________ iPhone-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/iphone-talk
