Dear Mr. Young:

I wanted to reach out and apologize for PayPal’s restriction of Cryptome’s account. As the head of PayPal’s legal department, I am responsible for the policies that govern the use of our service. While our acceptable use policy states that PayPal cannot be used for activity that violates intellectual property rights or applicable laws, there is sometimes ambiguity when determining whether specific information published by sites like yours is in violation of that policy.

In this case, I believe the initial decision on your account was wrong, and we have reversed the restriction. I’ve personally followed your site over the years and made a small donation several years ago, so I’m particularly sorry for the inconvenience this has caused you.

Sincerely,

John Muller
Vice President – Legal & Compliance
PayPal, Inc.
