So, Paypal having a AUP means nothing? Users of Paypal generate infractions and are thus terminated. How is this guy's AUP any different (assuming he follows his AUP).

The above happens all the time. Many guys are bought and sold with the implication you should not be using it to kill people...then again that is what we have a law for.

What a person does with their own computer is their own business as long as it is within the law of their location.
You seem to be confused (no big surprise there). Let me explain to you how things work. Any AUP is only as enforceable as the law allows it to be. For example, someone can sell me a gun and tell me that I can go kill someone if I want but that doen't make it legal or right to do. It's the same thing with an AUP. It can define what I am allowed to do and not do with their service but still needs to fall under the constraints of the law.
