There's a slight twist on that last item, though, as tnh also pointed out already: They shut down AW and almost immediately started a competing site.
...um. Tasteless, to say the least; at least wait for a week.
In the meantime, I'll believe the ISP's side more once I've learned that they have given AW their data back, at least, so that they can restore stuff on another service provider. Unless there was something in the Terms of Service that stated that anything hosted on the ISP's servers becomes the ISP's property, but I'm rather dubious about that. For $DEITY's sake, even LiveJournal ToS says that what we write here is our property.
