Computing in the Cloud: Possession and ownership of data

In cloud computing, a provider's data center holds information that would more traditionally have been stored on the end user's computer. How does this impact user privacy? To what extent do users "own" this data, and what obligations do the service providers have? What obligations should they have? Does moving the data to the provider's data center improve security or endanger it?

IMHO, when considering security, 2 items need to be addressed:

1) Physical security of the hardware 2) Security of the Data - here are some guidelines I've found when considering security in the cloud:

Physical security = globalfoundationservicesDOTcom

Data Security = do a web search for "secpal"
