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).

Somebody following their corporate mission. Emptying space, all yours.
Account abandoned.

It would be interesting to know how much money they saved by not requiring all that disk space.
Though, knowing MySpace they would have had bought all the hardware and self hosted... Hey I remember when that is what we all did!
