> But I really think the law is there for people who go overboard sending terabytes-per-hour with some crazy successful business.

What law? You mean the term in Google's contract with it's subscribers that prevents servers? That's not a law.

If they wanted to limit servers to a certain bandwidth, or to say you can't use their connection for a business that charges money -- why wouldn't they just put that in their contract instead? It's their contract to write how they like. What they liked was to prohibit all 'servers', rather than what you suggest they meant to do. Maybe their lawyers made a mistake, you should let them know.
