Well, I think it would depend on what the contract is with the provider, if it states in the TOS that all mp3's would be deleted, then they have the right to do such a thing and the person who put's mp3's on there should know better. However if it doesn't say in the TOS that they will automatically erase certain files w/ certain extensions without you knowing it, then wouldn't it fall under violation of Contract? Usually the contract would state the company assumes no responsibility for material you store, but unless they state they will do otherwise I'm sure it would be deemed illegal for them to do so.
Well, I've heard @home allegedly tracks what web sites you visit if you are using their proxy server, and sells that information to advertising companies, ever wonder about all that e-mail spam? There's quite a few ISP's that block spam at the mail servers, but @home refuses to incorperate(sp) it...
