Myspace Lost all the Music its Users Uploaded Between 2003 and 2015:
It's been a year since the music links on Myspace stopped working; at first the company insisted that they were working on it, but now they've admitted that all those files are lost: "As a result of a server migration project, any photos, videos, and audio files you uploaded more than three years ago may no longer be available on or from Myspace. We apologize for the inconvenience and suggest that you retain your back up copies. If you would like more information, please contact our Data Protection Officer, Dr. Jana Jentzsch at DPO@myspace.com."
Yeah, apparently they don't have a backup.
Just another reminder that "cloud" means: someone else's computer(s).

Was anything really "lost"? I remember being given a link, the page opening up, and I might want to puke, or I might wonder if I were epileptic, or it was just so revolting . . .
Yeah, I guess MySpace has cleaned up it's act some, since then. But I've very seldom had any desire to go back and look.

Likely. While probably 99% of all lost items were crap, pure statistics say that there has to have been some good stuff there. And since there's no perfect correlation between the ability to produce good stuff and the foresight to keep local backups, this means that statistically, some of those valuable items got lost.

Was anything actually NOT lost?
Considering the fact that no one has used MySpace in the last decade, are there any images left if only the last 3 years were saved?

Contrary to popular belief, MySpace isn't 100% dead. It's just mostly dead.
