PayPal releases Mailpile’s $45,000 (updated)
It's good that Paypal does the right thing here, so a big kudos to MailPile, not just for fighting the fight, but for getting others to care about it.But...  am I the only one that wishes I had the megaphone that is Hacker News and Ars Technica to right wrongs? I get into these situations and find myself fighting the situation alone because my business is not that much interest to a mass audience, and therefore, those in the media who can shine a light on it don't have interest in relaying my plight.So, while a few folks can get the limelight and get THEIR problems solved, the rest of us fight in vain against the machine knowing full well that the odds are stacked against us and we can't get the world's attention in the same way.TL;DR - Yay for MailPile, that's good, but I still feel kicked and not able to get the same sort of help. And in the end, it's Paypal solving a PR problem and not something that might be more systemic.
