| schestowitz[TR2] | A cloud service with a St. Louis PBS TV station among its clients | Aug 18 12:30 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | suddenly went out of business. The station lost access to archived | Aug 18 12:30 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | data spanning 70 years and is scrambling to get it back through legal | Aug 18 12:30 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | action. | Aug 18 12:30 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | The name of the cloud provider is "Open Source Storage". I can't | Aug 18 12:30 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | tell what relation this company has with "open source". It seems that | Aug 18 12:30 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | "Open Source" is not a registered trademark leaving pretty much anyone | Aug 18 12:30 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | free to use the term as part of a brand name. (Please correctly me | Aug 18 12:30 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | if I am wrong here.) | Aug 18 12:30 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | The station is Nine PBS, and the story was reported by the public | Aug 18 12:30 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | media outlet Current. According to the complaint, the case was filed | Aug 18 12:30 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | by the operators of KETC (Channel 9) in Denver, because the cloud | Aug 18 12:30 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | provider, Open Source Storage, kept its servers at a Colorado | Aug 18 12:30 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | facility owned by Iron Mountain Data Centers. Nine PBS entered a | Aug 18 12:30 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | relationship with a company described as OSS's predecessor back in | Aug 18 12:30 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | 2019 and renewed the contract year after year, storing hardware, | Aug 18 12:30 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | software, and cloud-based archival material through the vendor. When | Aug 18 12:30 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | the station tried to schedule a renewal meeting in February, OSS went | Aug 18 12:30 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | silent. | Aug 18 12:30 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Here is where it fell apart. The contract gave Nine PBS 30 days to | Aug 18 12:30 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | retrieve its data after service ended, but on March 6, the day the | Aug 18 12:30 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | agreement was set to expire, OSS cut off access with no warning. When | Aug 18 12:30 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | the station went looking for answers, it found OSS's website gone and | Aug 18 12:30 |
