Microsoft announced yesterday that they plan to downgrade their various OneDrive storage offerings.
Office 365 Home, Personal and University customers are now limited to 1 TB of OneDrive storage instead of unlimited storage. The 100GB and 200GB OneDrive plans are discontinued. They will be replaced by a 50GB plan for $1.99 per month in early 2016. Free storage will be reduced from 15GB to 5GB for all free users. The camera roll bonus of 15GB will be discontinued.
Microsoft's reasoning for the OneDrive storage offering downgrades: "A small number of users backed up numerous PCs and stored entire movie collections and DVR recordings. In some instances, this exceeded 75 TB per user or 14,000 times the average."

My hard disk. Yes, my hard disk has a finite capacity, but I'm free to use all available capacity. It's not as if when I start filling up ma hard disk to more than 50%, the hard disk manufacturer would come and tell me that I'm not allowed to store more. Now if the hard disk gets full, I'll of course not be able to write more data on it (unless I erase other data first). But that's not an arbitrary limit imposed by the hard disk manufacturer, but simply because there's no space left on the device.
TV broadcasting. If I want I can watch TV 24/7, and the broadcaster will not tell me that it's now time to stop watching TV.
