SAAS FTL. We managed to avoid customer backlash by propping MSN Music open for an extra couple of years, but companies folding with user data is eventually going to sour public opinion of cloud services. It will probably take 5 to 10 years, so no worries.

Given that most follow the ticket paradigm (as they share design pedigree) this would not be unthinkable from a technical viewpoint. However, it may be an uphill battle from an economical/political viewpoint : companies may not find this openness to their benefit.
