No you are not, I think the same.
Now about letting the files be deleted, this is good and bad, legitimate users will lose their data (obviously bad, but not knowing the rules of the storage I'm not sure), evidence will be destroyed (good for pirates, bad for the prossecution, about the defense I'm not sure)

Just becasue something is in the ToS does not make it enforceable or legal, this usually applies when the Terms are sufficiently unfair or too broad, I would not knwo the specifics here but the point remains that just because they details it in the ToS/Terms and Conditions does not make it binding. I am sure that someone who had a premium account (i.e. paid for a service) that lost significant data could pursue a legal claim with a suitably friendly legal team, i.e. happy to take a punt in return for a share fo significant damages.

Am I the only one that finds the use of the word ‘Mega Conspiracy’ in the indictment utterly inappropriate and childish?
