Arash's comment on the article:
"This is Arash from Dropbox. We removed the project source code from the user’s Dropbox because it enables communications with our servers in a manner that is a violation of our Terms of Service. By our TOS, we reserve the right to terminate the account of users in this case. However, we chose to remove access to the file instead of terminating the account of the user."
I'm questioning whether possessing the file without using it against Dropbox is actually a TOS violation.
