they freeze accounts for good reasons, the problem is, they dont know if those good reasons are ture or not.
its hard to prove you are not doing something illegal, and they have to cover their a$$es in case someone is doing something criminal and they did nothing to stop it. the dmca has safe harbor laws which make things like youtube and megaupload like places doable, because if it wasn't for safe harbor, the moment something illegal went up or copy right infringing, they would be no more. however this safe harbor does not extend to paypal like services, where money could be deposited for something, lets say, drugs, or prostitutes that don't work on the street. they have to take alagations like those seriously, even if unfounded, unlike copyright notices where you have to have some amount of proof, and can deny taking it down till proof.

I mean what was he supposed to do? never work again? Its getting ridiculous now, its like a company saying you can never work in a similar industry ever again so you either stay with us or we'll sue you[/citation]
its called a non compete clause. some places, for example a major motorcycle company i know of all emploies sighn a contract that states if you leave or are fired, you cant work in a competters business for 1 year, the contract i know of.
i presume that the higher you go the longer that gets, because the more you know the more you can help competition. lets say you work on a prototype engine, it wont be out for 3 years, they may make a non compete for 5 years because you know everything about it.
