They are not throttling connections that are blocking file sharing.

Re: Id hate to be a Comcast subscriber....
Correct, the story is talking about how it is keeping people from "Seeding" torrents, which IMHO is a really bad idea. Just because some of us use torrents for illegal purposes, doesn't mean everyone does.

Re: Id hate to be a Comcast subscriber....
I think I've used torrents to legally download OpenOffice.org and WoW. While I would be pissed if I had to manually patch WoW, by stopping torrents, they would cut back 50% of my illegal activity. The other 50% is downloaded from filesharing websites and is pr0n. HAHAHA

Re: Id hate to be a Comcast subscriber....
They don't block downloads, only completed torrents you are "seeding", which overall hurts the swarm.

Re: Id hate to be a Comcast subscriber....
Hmmmm....

Never? People sign ridiculous agreements these days without even knowing it. Plus if there was a threat, they would cave I'm sure, unless they knew they had legal precedence.

Re: Id hate to be a Comcast subscriber....
Actually I read somewhere today it's already in the works. Sure people sign stupid stuff but you can't advertise unlimited internet if it's limited. I will post the link if I find it again.
