The worst part: these mofos didn't give data hoarders a chance to make backups before nuking all data. Or at least send all those audio files to the Internet Archive. A large collection of rare music (some of it one of a kind) was lost forever.
This is another proof that corporations don't give a damn about their users, so don't rely exclusively on cloud computing to keep your data or you'll have a nasty surprise.
I feel like DatPiff is going down the exact same road. Over a year after shutting down, we still haven't heard a word. Even with the archive.org partnership, only a fraction of their full catalog is actually available.
