[Owncloud] Freedom in the Cloud - Eben Moglen

[Cody Rose]

Thanks for the video link, 

It is a weird time to watch so much change from a users perspective of the 
internet while working with it on the server side. Once I started working on 
the server side, I immediately stopped using services such as facebook, gmail, 
flickr etc. If I don't have control over it I don't become dependent on it. Any 
morning I could wake up and Google may have decide that they were loosing to 
much money on Gmail and shut it down and I seriously doubt they would have to 
give us a 2nd chance to download emails. While it may not happen I don't 
believe in giving up my data rights nor my thin veil of privacy for such 
gimmicky services.
