They can and they will, there are lots of examples if you search around. If the send/receive pattern of your account changes dramatically, they'll limit your account and question you because they don't know what business you run, they don't have the time and manpower to check all of the millions of users they have, you know. I bet this is exactly why axl's account has been limited but getting out of this when the person doesn't have a legal business is not gonna be easy, if at all possible.

Not really, all file hosts' business model is based on making money from copyrighted material, some share a part of that money with their affiliates, some don't; this doesn't make any of the groups superior to the other or their business more/less legal.
This matter is a pretty clear example of Paypal's double-standard policy and nothing more but they run the business and make the rules and there is nothing we can do about it.
