Not just inadvertent outages, but can you imagine what kind of data end-users keep in email (and other places) at times and how this could be potentially be perceived by law enforcement agencies? Any joke email about terrorism, for example, could throw up a red flag and all of your company's data gets seized.

Well, that's one more item to include in your contract with your cloud provider--assurances that there is a contingency plan for this type of event. Although actually the SLA should cover pretty much all outages, regardless of the cause. It's up to the hosting companies to make sure they've thought of every possible cause for an outage, include FBI raid. I bet all cloud companies are, as we speak, hashing this out. On an unrelated note, Lockhart Steele is an awesome name for a company president.
