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).

Do old internet services never die? I had no idea that MySpace even still existed...
That said, it is (well, was) a big service, so what's with the lack of backups? I understand it when Joe Sixpack doesn't have backups, but an IT company?
...reading... I see that MySpace does still exist, if barely. They had a data breech in 2016, and they hadn't even bothered to salt their users' passwords. So I suppose a lack of backups fits right in.
Everyone is somebody else's weirdo.

Well everything before the last three years just died on MySpace.
