I would suggest that every example you mentioned is, indeed, "a cloud thing". Shared web hosting, VPS, colocation - all of those are cloud solutions - we just didn't used to call them that. :-)

Hmm - is this a "cloud" thing? I mean, people have been paying for shared web hosting for years. Or more recently Virtual Private Servers, or even dedicated servers. If law enforcement turns up and seizes 'x' racks of equipment, chances are that there are going to be innocent bystanders who are going to be affected.

This is how the FBI treats something in the cloud. Remember that when you trust your important data to the cloud. http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/06/21/f-b-i-seizes-web-servers-knocking-sites-offline/ Note: I don't support the activities of any hacking group.
