Could this impact cloud computing?
Once content is uploaded to the cloud (by choice or default), who owns the content? You store your belongings in a physical storage locker and maintain ownership but what about online storage?
Can Big Brother search your content at will without a warrant?
If a server is in another country, could it be searched? Could this force off-shore storage? Would you store your content with a company in a country that doesnt have an extradition policy with US?

The government admits that if it wants to seize photos on your hard drive, it needs a warrant from a judge. And if it wants to intercept your e-mail en route, well, it needs a warrant for that, too.

the Fourth Amendment's warrant requirement does not apply to data stored online. (Source)
