body: If I upload a copyrighted file "c.file" *for which I am not the copyright holder* to Dropbox, no one cares. If I share it, then it becomes an issue (and of course Dropbox has things to prevent this). However, if I put c.file on my own webpage, with no security of any kind, this is file sharing, which is illegal for copyrighted files. If I want to use my server as a personal cloud storage like Dropbox, what do I need to do in order to be within my legal rights to serve copyrighted material? Is a simple password protection enough? Or do I need to achieve some particular level of security?
