ICT giants have invested heavily in developing technologies and mega server facilities, which allow end users to access web-based software applications and store their data off-site. Businesses using cloud computing services will benefit from reduced operating costs as they cut back on ICT infrastructure and personnel. Individuals will no longer need to buy and install software and will have universal access to their data through any internet-ready device. Yet, hidden amongst the host of benefits are inherent legal risks. The global nature of cloud computing raises questions about privacy, security, confidentiality and access to data. Current terms of use do not adequately address the multitude of legal issues unique to cloud computing. In the face of this legal uncertainty, end users should be educated about the risks involved in entering the cloud.<\/p>","DOI":"10.4018\/jdcf.2010010103","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,4,16]],"date-time":"2010-04-16T20:19:05Z","timestamp":1271449145000},"page":"30-39","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Grey Areas - The Legal Dimensions of Cloud Computing"],"prefix":"10.4018","volume":"2","author":[{"given":"Michael","family":"Davis","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Adelta Legal, Adelaide, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alice","family":"Sedsman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Adelta Legal, Adelaide, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"2432","reference":[{"key":"jdcf.2010010103-0","unstructured":"M2 PressWire.
