"Don’t blow anything into the Cloud that you don’t have a personal copy of. ... Insult, berate and make fun of any company that offers you something like a “sharing” site that makes you push stuff in that you can’t make copies out of or which you can’t export stuff out of. Make fun of these people, and their shitty little Cloud Cities running on low-grade cooking fat and dreams. They will die and they will take your stuff into the hole. Don’t let them. ... Are you paying for these services? No? You are a sucker. You are giving people stuff for free. ... These are parties. And parties are fun and parties and cool and you meet neat people at parties but parties are not a home."
