Re: I think it's interesting... pssst they changed the TOS regarding p2p yesterday or today.... to coincide with the their "legal" bullshit. Just because its in a TOS does not make it good business or even FCC approved/legal.

Comcast may have clarified it recently, but I'm sure it's been there for years.
...and don't try to even say that a P2P program seeding is not a server. |

So, your analogy makes lots of sense to me.
When I was on Napster, the best people to download from where at Colleges since they were on huge connections. People would get warning letters from Comcast@Home for too much Upstream. When Napster was found to be illegal, I quit using such things. So, yes, sounds like you are seeding a server or it looks like that since you are giving out large files (called serving) just not communicating like IMing.
