Pay Pal stepping up its efforts to become corporate lap dog.

Heads up to those who purchase out of zone copyrighted material via vpn or ip spoofing.

I've never had any issues with PayPal for 10 years now. As a matter of fact a few of the ebay transactions that didn't work out, they refunded me without any real hassle every time.

Not worried about this in the slightest regarding karaoke services.

The article is about PayPal limiting payments to VPN companies and SmartDNS providers. It is not limiting payments made to the companies selling legitimate goods. PayPal would have to drop services for every karaoke provider and I just don't see that happening. Ever.

Correcting my post......

I did not mean to paint VPN and SmartDNS services as "illegitimate". Both are selling legitimate services. They can also be used for a variety of underground activities.

I don't like that PayPal is doing this because the services do have valid uses. If PayPal is going to take this stance, they should also block payments to Google (themselves) because Google can be used to find copyrighted material to download.

But I reiterate that I don't believe this will have any impact of getting karaoke downloads.
