Or is this just hyperbole and an unfounded assumption?
Fanny Hill is erotica starring a 15-year-old prostitute; it also describes a lot of sex with other underage characters. It's against PayPal's new rules for ebook sales. It's possible some ebook sites that carry Fanny Hill are still taking PayPal for it, but as soon as it gets reported, they risk having their accounts frozen.

Or did I miss something and PayPal's announcement allowed that books in the public domain were exempt from its restrictions?
