I don't know about them, but, as I mentioned at http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1340242, I find the following passage very bothersome:

> You agree not to do any of the following while using the Site, Content, Files or Services:

> o Post, publish or transmit any text, graphics, or material that: (i) is false or misleading; (ii) is defamatory; (iii) invades another's privacy; (iv) is obscene, pornographic, or offensive; (v) promotes bigotry, racism, hatred or harm against any individual or group; (vi) infringes another's rights, including any intellectual property rights; or (vii) violates, or encourages any conduct that would violate, any applicable law or regulation or would give rise to civil liability;

It seems to me to require you to (a) ignore it or (b) think very, very carefully about what files it is OK to backup (is it OK to back up a work of fiction? Then what does it mean that you will not back up material that is ‘false or misleading’?). I wrote them about this, but never received a reply.
