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).

I believe he has not only a point, but a whole curve. And he went on a tangent to it here. (grin)

"I'd like to report a crime.. Not sure exactly when.. Between 2003 and 2015. Evidence? Oh, in file.. Photo? Maybe video or sound recording..
Yes, I wore paisley while singing Carpenters"

Forgive my ignorance, isn't using social media a crime yet?
If not, one can ask them for the backup unofficially.

Soon not using social media will be a crime.
What, citizen, you want privacy? You must be one of those subversives; off to the camps with you.

Yup. Everyone's a potential criminal all of the time, so they keep everything related to that.

MySpace was definitely a crime.
Appended to the end of comments you post. Max: 120 chars.

Whether or not they have your stuff is less important than whether or not they will expend the effort to get your stuff for you.
I'm ok, all my myspace stuff was backup up on an upload site, just need to remember where, mega-something I think....

Nah, this was music and video files, you'll need to check in with the RIAA and MPAA mafias for those.

And if the NSA won't cough it up, check Brewster's site -- the Wayback Machine at archive.org
What I want to know is who backs up archive.org ?
