true, but engadget had an article on this. it costs pennies a year to host it on the cloud. - tRuMaN Mar 14, 11:13 3
- For me it would be because I'm not going through the hassle of setting up a media server and burning copies of everything. - spamlet Mar 14, 11:24 1
  - i have that server, but i would love to have them in the cloud (or at least specific ones) but yeah, i want more than 1 year guarantee. -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 14, 11:27
- If this turns into a profitable business model for companies, there's gonna be a real crack down on home ripping of discs. -- nm - Mop (198 lbs) Mar 14, 11:17
