AOL will not allow me to upload MacPGP on the basis that there is a
court case pending against the author, and therefore it should not be allowed.
My question is since the court case is pending why can't they allow it on
until a verdict has been reached? Is this common for commercial online services
or ftp sites to ban it?

There is no "court case pending against Phil Zimmerman." Neither he nor
his legal counsel have been notified of any action against him. He has
not been named publically in any official papers. He has not been
subpoenaed. There *is* an insvestigation of how PGP was exported (nothing
about its *creation*). Two firms have testified before a Grand Jury.
