I'd have thought the rule has some basis in law, and law is statute etc?

Not exactly. The law gives property owners rights to impose "terms&
conditions" on people who wish to use their property. If you rent a car the
terms and conditions imposed by the car-hire company are not statute law,
but the company has the right to impose those conditions because the law
allows them to.


Yes, thanks. it's called contract, and there's probably some case. Law then.

Anyhow, as i say, I'm familiar with the essence and by no means
knowledgeable on matters of law.

I think this:

is quite an interesting development while talking about sharing and
copyright.


It did keep mentioning mp3s purchased from the Amazon store. Whether they
would accept mp3s for storage *not* bought that way was left unsaid.

There is little doubt that the advent of modern technology has made it far
easier to disregard copyright. That doesn't make it morally right to do so.


You can put any file up - I've just tried it. And I could easily share
the content by sharing the login details.

No, before you ask :-)

Doesn't make it morally wrong to share or breach copyright, I should
mention as a point of balance.
