The only one of the examples you listed that makes me even remotely sympathetic to Paypal is TOS violations but Paypal or any big company's TOS is sufficiently vague to make any suspension justifiable as a TOS violation.

What people also don't realize is that they only have the 20 year patent period to make money in. After that the drug is copied by generics companies. This incentivises innovation while also not placing a permanent burden on the econ

There is no incentive to run any node other than feeling good about it or using it for intelligence purposes. It's a volunteer thing. But to run exits you just need a host who won't kick you for every single abuse notice.

I wish! But there most be some return on investment or they wouldn't be doing it. Tor is so much faster than it used to be so I think it is likely there is well resourced person who is up to something on Tor .

Good advice. By the way, the reason captcha didn't stop it is because Recaptcha is $2 per 1000 solves on 2captcha.com (or any other solving service), at $0.02/SMS this only lowers their profitability by 10%.
