SO Comcast is getting sued for screwing with P2P
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071115/...scrimination_5
I have to ask the obvious question: the guy(s) making this lawsuit, did they consider that the RIAA and MPAA are very likely to target them specifically because they are obvious and public users of P2P? Would an admission of using a P2P network be enough to merit a visit form the feds, a warrant, or perhaps a lawsuit? I understand that there is some legal P2P, but it is a pretty small part of the overall whole out there. Just a thought. |

Not all file sharing means the exchange of copyrighted files. He could be trading home videos and other self made files.

Jaysin, how many linux distros does the average guy download to say "I am having problems connecting to P2P?" and how many independant artist songs would they have to download to be concerned about certain network outages that can slow downloads? The person filing the suit would have to be a power user, using P2P often enough and long enough to (a) notice a dropoff in speed, and (b) have enough experience to know that this is not a normal dropoff. You don't think he will get a little knock on the door one of these days? |

World of Warcraft distributes its patches using bittorrent as far as I know.
I would be very pissed if I found out I couldnt download a patch for a game I paid using a service I am paying for. |

Jaysin, no, they did not shut off that protocol entirely. Far from it. However, what their platform does is that it sends out cancel or drops to remote systems involved int he transfer of files, using the IP of the their end user. So the remote system thinkgs the connection was cancelled or the send somehow failed, and that block is lost. They don't do it for all packets or all connections, but rather in relationship to traffic levels in various segements (this is based on info I could find when I looked into the product they are apparently using).
It isn't a protocol block, sorry. Perhaps you would like to read and be better informed before you go off on something like this? |
