I can't help but wonder, is this consistent with iFast's user privacy policy? I can't tell, I don't speak Dutch...
I am, unfortunately they have more items explaining when they can stop providing services due to some 'legal' issue than due to not paying. Below is a summary of what I found to be relevant. Mind you, it's a loose translation of their general conditions. Saying they'll cut you off if:
you distribute information that's in conflict with (inter)national laws
you distribute information that's in conflict with general accepted values
you distribute information that's discriminating (in any way), including (?) adultpages/MP3/warez/video
Disallowed:
no chatrooms, no irc or irc bots
their servers may not be the source/mediator for spam, flames or mailbombs
no form of destabilizing their servers is allowed, including any other type of abuse
"IFast is allowed to decide which kind of actions are in violations of these condition."
As is said somewhere else, they don't have a privacy statement, at least not on their frontpage. In my opinion the last remark says it all, it is their decision wether something might be illegal or in violation.
Anyway, they seem to be a small and possibly quite new company, probably not able to handle a big case of copyright problems. Not that it's a valid defense but probably the truth anyway.

Your comment made me want to look... in Opera of course...
After seeing the page, it continued to load... and load... and load...
and finally 7 megabytes later, it displayed the same page.
Now I'm used to not seeing everything while using Opera, but 7 megabytes for nothing??? That better be a damn good and informative flashthingy...
Not trying to reduce the contents of your post (you're quite right about the hardware tossing), but I would guess that the funny part is the "Version 2.0" in combination with Debian (something about freeze times, delay and 'up-to-date' distribution comes to mind;)

...disable referrer logging (press , for happy Opera users).
You have to admit they do have a sense of humour...

Going to that link with "referrer logging" turned on, made me jump to the
4) Check your PC every time you return to your office to make sure nobody has placed a keylogger between it and your keyboard.
Is that just another way of saying: you can never have too much tinfoil?

I read it in the sidebar "Legolas vs. Microsoft ...", yeah yeah I know, I feel guilty for not going to the RotK in the first week...

...also known as "Beagle 2". I don't have to say which one this belongs to, do I?
- substitute numbers
- swallow every 'n' in the word 'known'
- turn "weapons of mass destruction" into "massive destruction weapon" ?
Though the last one could be a solution the the problem alltogetherBreak in to SCO... priceless...
Probably only the /. editors amongst us...
