PayPal shuts down Hackers For Charity - Johnny kind of stranded...

[christopher.riley at r-it.at (christopher.riley at r-it.at)]

I've been in touch with the UK press relations company for Paypal. To add 
fuel to the issue feel free to give them a call on +44 (0)20 7566 9777. 
Say they you read online about the issues and wanted more information. 
She'll be unhelpful, but if enough people call she'll push the big red 
"Unwanted Media Attention" button and hopefully get somebody who can help 
to look at this.
