Will not hold up

As with other similar cases, this will not hold up in the court of law. Comcast is trying to take away someones due process and limit there own liability. Comcast is just trying to give themselves there own free pass to do what they want. Comcast's lawyers are not doing a very good job.

Forcecd arbitration clauses are routinely upheld by courts. They usually include provisions that disagreements about the clause itself are also subject to arbitration. A court will accept the case just long enough to throw it out and tell you to rely on the arbitration process (and you'll then owe court costs).

Most of us in USA have been brought up to expect fairness from the legal system - it's part of the propaganda in textbooks, etc.. The reality is we're increasingly serfs in a corporate-ruled feudal system.

That's a good ruling IMHO. However, the last paragraph:

"While this ruling came down on the side of consumers, it also points to the importance of reading the fine print. We might not be so lucky the next time."
