So how does this ruling not affect the cloud storage providers?

  ..."And we have not considered whether the public performance right is in- fringed when the user of a service pays primarily for something other than the transmission of copyrighted works, such as the remote storage of content."

  Because it's not about "the cloud" in general. It's about specifically the rebroadcast of television radio signals, concerning which there's a substantial body of law created to govern the activities of cable TV providers. In other words, the SC just defined Aereo as a cable company, when they wanted to be a cloud services company.
