Awesome free album from Amazon US this week. It's a sampler of tracks from the Naxos catalogue of early music. Drifting away to calm canticles.

Huge problem for the cloud computing model. Regardless of any Terms of Service, a hostile party may gain access to your data and usage patterns simply by convincing some judge somewhere. Solutions, anyone?

I'm concerned by the Google/YouTube ruling as well ... the brute force solution for Google would be to anonymise all user-related data, but that may be technically hard, and I think Viacom would object.
What I'm concerned about is that a judge can so completely ignore any privacy concerns.
