Re: Comcrap

You guys quote a NY law, but NY law also has something called Clean Hands law.

Which basically means you can't sue someone if you your self are doing something that can be considered illegal.

So you can't sue Comcast for preventing you from downloading some Movie you don't own. No lawyer in their right mind would take your case.

So Comcast couldn't sue customers for sending forged packets, then? I suppose it's prohibited by their terms of service, which would be rather hypocritical.

Also, Comcast doesn't discriminate, they sabotage all BT. A plaintiff would be someone seeding a Linux ISO or some such.

There are lots of legitimate uses for bittorrent, in fact it has been incorporated into several patching systems like for Blizzard's World of Warcraft. Can anyone out there in the area affected still patch thier WoW client?
