I am obviously in a minority here. I read the description of books that PayPal proscribed as those works that described the offending behaviors as desirable on some level. Titillating or arousing and/or morally condonable.
I feel that Smashwords caved to Paypals demands at least in part because they were not comfortable with this content themselves.
If this is not the case, Smashwords has all of the time in the world to set up an alternative payment system and put the content in question back online. They might lose a few months of sales but I doubt they will be severely impacted.
Paypal has on the otherhand made a stand, rightly or wrongly, that could cost them millions and no doubt will.
Can we honestly believe they have done this for no reason other than to be pushing their customers around?
