The government arguments are that Goodwin cannot demonstrate any 
“ownership” over the servers, since he merely paid for a service. 
Moreover, while conceding that Goodwin might have the right to assert 
his copyright, that is “not sufficient to establish that he has an 
ownership interest in the property that is the subject of his motion 
– the copies of his data, if any, which remain on Carpathia’s 
servers”


The DOJ is arguing that once you upload files to a 3rd party, you 
renounce all ownership to them.
