Might mean nothing. Or it might get some bored real reporter to start asking questions.

I wrote to Paypal recently as a forum owner wanting to use paypal for donations.
I included a few example URLs of active sharing forums full of copyrighted material that accepted Paypal payments and said that my forum would be exactly the same content sharing enterprise.
I pretty much beat a dead horse in the email regarding how infringing the enterprise would be.
I got an email back that said "Thank you for contacting PayPal regarding the account you would like to create to receive donations for your forum. I appreciate the opportunity to assist you with your questions. I have read your enquiry and would like to inform you that first of all you would need to clarify if your activity is not prohibited on PayPal."
I checked the forums that Id listed in my email a month later and they still had active Paypal processing.
Even when notified with examples of infringing websites using their services, they ignore it.
