It's entirely sensationalistic. What's the difference between "Apple could decide which iCloud music you can't have" and "Apple could decide which iTunes songs you can't redownload"? Or "Google could decide which emails in gmail you can't have anymore"? The only realistic danger with iCloud is the same as with any other cloud service: the company accidentally loses your data. Even in that case there's not much danger. You use iTunes match, you download copies of the matches to your local computer, you back them up.
