    If you don’t own the storage, you don’t own the content. You’re just renting it.

      Usually I agree with this sentiment but that gets dicey as if you store your work on a cloud service, they don’t own the work, the company/person who made it does. They are just parking the vehicle they own in a rented garage. In this scenario you’re saying you are renting a license to access it I suppose. Which would mean we are renting our driver’s licenses per se, which is true I guess.
