Granted, I appreciate them explaining and properly disclosing it. So to be clear my criticism isn't Dropbox specific but this also goes for other cloud storage providers. That said just because others do the same (or even worse) doesn't make it any better. The loss of privacy and rights is one of the biggest issues in tech these days. I wouldn't even be that opposed to it if the business model would at least recognize the users as content creators and pay them for the value they add, but the way it is now we provide all the value and the shareholders reap the rewards. Humans have become a commodity, like cattle. Our private data is the milk, and they're milking us dry like no tomorrow.
