Yes. You've read that right. An estimated 50 million MySpace audio tracks have been lost along with photos and videos.

Always backup your files. Never rely on anyone else to do it for you. Even Dropbox has lost customer files.
The sad thing in this case is people who lost music from musicians who've died in the time since they had uploaded the files.
