The title is misleading. It should read;
"Using free adwords credit to extend dropbox accounts doesn't work"
Google is trying to attract real customers not people who want to game the system at Google's expense. No money was ever paid, it was all done using a promo voucher.
The adwords account was specifically and exclusively set up so a dropbox account could be extended.
I am sure if you wanted to do some real advertising Google would reinstate the account.
But was it set up so that the person could participate in the dropbox affiliate program according to dropbox's affiliate ToS? I'm not saying right or wrong here, but I don't see the evil part yet on the part of the poster.
You run a site, you offer stuff to people to go out and market your product for you, they do so - as long as they didn't do it by creating fake accounts, what's the problem?
