I thought everyone knew this. Pastebin hasn't been used seriously for pasting code snippets for years, everyone's moved to one of the ( much ) better pastebins. Here's just a few i can think of off the top of my head: http://paste.pocoo.org/ http://gist.github.com/ http://dpaste.org/ http://fpaste.org/ http://codepad.org/ and http://rafb.net/paste/ before it was shut down
Welcome to the internet, this is pretty old news. You want to see more interesting stuff? Next time you stumble upon an owned computer, try to follow where the network stack is leading to and you'll sometimes find IRC channels with really interesting mechanics and things in them to control these computers.
Why is it considered an abuse? Here is a description on what service pastebin provides: "Pastebin.com is the number one paste tool since 2002. Pastebin is a website where you can store text online for a set period of time." It doesn't make pastebin abused just because some internet individual thinks it is only for interesting source code.
It's possibly abuse because it's possibly used for illegal activities. "just because some internet individual" Your condescending tone implies undisclosed motives. I might be wrong, feel free to correct me.
Obviously, Pastebin works too.
Another I just saw was a keylog of someone changing their password after their Facebook account was flagged for suspicious activity. Obviously, they've got bigger problems.
Question: should I contact this person and tell them what happened?
(Thinking about it, it would be trivial to write a script that monitors for this kind of stuff, and e-mails the victim, or sends them a facebook message, explaining what happened. But, uh, seems like it might expose me to liability at worst, and angry reply emails at best.)

Here's an example I found on their recent pastes page:

Go play with the Theme dropdown.
This has been the case for a while. Anything you paste there will be seen by everyone + google. I did a simple pastebin for myself a while back that doesnt have a public directory - http://tinypaste.com - Also has code compilation built in, via codepad
