I find this hard to believe. I get that it reduces space used _in thoery_, but do you have any data on the % of uploads that are duplicated across clients?

It would have to be very, very large to justify the claim that it turns a previously non-cost-effective service into a cost-effective one, especially as prices have been dropping for some time and would hypothetically have simply not dropped as fast if this was the case.

Pretty much everybody keeps a copy of "Bringing Sexy Back" on iCloud.
