This could even have cascading effects with others using similar business models. Relying on a product that a for profit company provides for free is risky, especially if the company is publically traded.

Though the real point I'm seeing in all of this is that there needs to be more regulation about "terms of service" and "end user agreements", rather than just letting companies say whatever and then letting the courts determine what flies when push comes to shove.
