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).

    Forgive my ignorance, isn't using social media a crime yet?

    If not, one can ask them for the backup unofficially.

    Crime: being twenty years behind the current fad.

    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.
