This blog post isn't about whether it was right for MegaUpload to be shut down. There's plenty of debate going on about that, and it's something that I'm not personally interested in taking part in.

The MegaUpload debacle can serve as a great big, flood-lit warning:

"AVOID THE CLOUD!"

Because it takes only one scofflaw, one idiot cop, and one ignorant judge, to ruin the day (or month, or year) for a whole lotta people. People whose only "crime" was using the same service/servers as someone on the MafiAA's hit list.

(CEO's and CFO's especially need to heed this warning.)

You know, I've got a great idea for a movie. Two con men out to swindle the government into giving them unfettered control of the Internet in "Alias Smith and Dodd". Nah, who am I kidding? No one would ever believe it.
Would that have them operating out of the Leahy Spin-Clinic?
