PayPal cuts off payments to UnoTelly Netflix-unblocking service (cbc.ca)

"Paypal indicated that UnoTelly is not allowed to provide services that enable open and unrestricted internet access."

I don't agree with that intreptation, I'm assuming that the Paypal ToS (like many payments providers) has a line that states you cannot use the service to provide services that enable or facilitate copyright / intellectual property infringement. Accessing Netflix where they are not allowed to stream content due to copyright law would be an infringement.
