This just in... As we reported it would do yesterday, PayPal has today issued a significant update to its acceptable use policy regarding payments for certain erotica-themed e-books.Now the eBay-owned payments company says that it will only prohibit using its payment system for specific books -- not entire classes of books -- and that it will only apply to those publications that contain pictures as well as words, and in that case only cases where those images are obscene as defined by the U.S. legal system.This is a big reversal from the company's policy as it set out last month, when it wrote to several e-book distributors mandating that they remove erotica covering rape, incest and bestiality from their catalogs, or face being barred from using PayPal to process orders and other transactions related to the sale of those books.
