The real WTF is that Capitalism - a system ostensibly designed such that innovation leads to the cheese at the end of the maze - is most efficient when a single corporation controls every product and service. Capitalism seems to be tending towards that eventuality, & the mechanism by which this will happen may just be intellectual property laws...:-)
The best thing, of course, is to have encrypted content in the cloud that cloud providers cannot decrypt. Until such technology is possible I'll be voting with my wallet (so to speak) and ignoring cloud computing. Especially with the way the US has gone of late..:-)

We all know that the US is actually governed by its corporations.
