Paypal, why stop at dirty books? Why not cut off funds to presidential campaigns (for candidates you do not like)? Why not cut off funds for anyone who refuses to detail what the transaction was for? Do you plan on reinstating Smashwords for transactions not involving dirty books?

It's such a slippery slope that this really is a victory for no one. It's just one more reason for me to move my assets away from Paypal.]]> http://www.techdirt.com/blog/casestudies/articles/20120209/10092617711/if-people-like-you-your-work-theyll-pay-if-they-like-your-work-dont-like-you-theyll-infringe.shtml#c225 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 10:40:33 PST http://www.techdirt.com/blog/casestudies/articles/20120209/10092617711/if-people-like-you-your-work-theyll-pay-if-they-like-your-work-dont-like-you-theyll-infringe.shtml#c225 http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20120112/17414917393/cd-projekt-listens-to-fans-abandons-piracy-witch-hunt.shtml#c17 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 16:45:07 PST http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20120112/17414917393/cd-projekt-listens-to-fans-abandons-piracy-witch-hunt.shtml#c17 http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20111012/10535116327/dont-complain-about-piracy-when-you-create-crappy-games.shtml#c596 Tue, 1 Nov 2011 12:53:17 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20111012/10535116327/dont-complain-about-piracy-when-you-create-crappy-games.shtml#c596
