The whole story is blown out of proportion.

You're putting your files online, and there's a Web interface to access them, and you expect them to be absolutely secure - really? Encrypt them with something really solid and don't put them online, if that's your concern.

You upload your files to the cloud, and then you complain when the company hands them over to the FBI - really? Bury the files in concrete at midnight, and kill all witnesses, if that's your concern.

The guy who is agitating the whole thing - I'm changing my mind about him. He did a good job with the whole Facebook / Google debacle, but now he's coming off as an attention seeker / karma whore.
