#2That really sucks. Still, these people should have considered the possibility that the photos were not copies and that they would be deleted in both places.

#3That's a shame, but at the same time you have to wonder who would store five years of photos using an online service and not have a single backup. Buy one or two cheap portable hard drives and do a monthly backup of all of your can't-live-without files to both drives every month. Store them in a safe place and don't use them for anything else. Problem averted.
Edit: Or shit, at least have a copy on your computer.

#4Yeah sure. Why should you do backups when you can start whining and pointing at Google instead...
