Seems like a logical step to me, especially for dodgy automated tools. Making your programs paste the illegal info in pastebin makes a lot of sense from a plausible deniability standpoint. "No sir, I didn't plant the bug there, I just found this log on a public website."

Pastebin's owner seems to not mind automated tools using the site ( http://stackoverflow.com/questions/833887/pastebin-api , comment on question ), so the only solution I see is a "report public paste" feature. But that would be near useless against the volume of computer generated content created. And worse yet, the address that pasted it is just another victim, so there's little hope going against it.

Though I really hope I'm wrong, pastebin is a great website.
