Looks like Crashplan is unlimited. So they probably have a small number of users backing up enormous amounts of data. What Crashplan *should* do is stop the unlimited stuff and start a pay-for-what-you-use system, that would encourage users to be selective about what they backup... and if they don't it's making more money. Instead it looks like they're trying to keep the unlimited aspect while sneakily limiting what people store which can only end in tears for the users.
