It stinks that they don't have a way to get the pictures out en masse, but I also wouldn't trust a site to hold my stuff without keeping a backup so I guess that one cuts both ways.
I disagree. They clearly have no respect for how important your photos are.
Any teenager with some coding knowledge could have put together a script to archive all your photos and offer them in a convenient file to download. Instead they essentially tell you they don't care.

Telling people to download their photos one at a time is ludicrous.
