My definition of "service" is defined as busy, anonymous public or organized access (not necessarily "business" or "corporate"). For example, I wouldn't feel bad about running a game server on weekends, but running a DS 24/7 would break the spirit of the law. Same would go for an e-mail server (for example) -- I would feel okay forwarding my own DNS domain account and running POP3/IMAP, but hosting a bunch of busy mailboxes would break the spirit of the thing.

Usually high bandwidth usage is a clue.
