Subject: [SECURITY] Cloud vendor contracts starting to say they own the data you put in their cloud

The subject line  says it all.

We're starting to see clauses in vendor cloud contracts where they are stating that they will own any data that we 
store in their cloud. Basically this sounds like cloud vendors are starting to adopt the social media sites' approach 
of "gimme, gimme, gimme, it's mine".  Needless to say, this is disturbing in so many ways.

Has anyone else run into this?
