Naw, the Feds could care less about a story site that follows the laws.
If we get shut down for real, you'll see a Hostgator error message. I back up regularly 'cos it's happened to us before (with other hosts). Last time we were shut down, we were back up again 2 or 3 days later with a NEW host (this one), and we'd only lost about a day's worth of posts.
