Re: The other side of the coin... said by GoodLuckChuck :
Comcast explicitly prohibits servers on residential accounts. P2P is a server. What part of that doesn't the AG understand? Seems clear to me.
Maybe the AG should go after all the thieves that are using P2P illegally to distribute copyrighted material.
umm UPLOADING a file (shared or otherwise i.e. p2p, ftp, http upload [youtube, and etc..]) is NOT running a server. A server is usually open to the general public, waits for unsolicited connections.
I'm so tired of those brainwashed people who constantly try to equate uploads with serving. |

kudos:3 | Then stop confusing the server portion with BT as not being a server and you won't feel the way you do.
Your BT program can very well act as a server to anyone needing the files.. get it. |

You're right. No one prohibits servers. They simply block the common ports used to serve certain content on (e.g. port 80 for Web servers, 25/110 for email servers and so on). FiOS does the same thing. I think it bytes and have expressed my discontent with this slimy "Cable-style" practise. Besides, I run a few game servers on my 15/15 and have never had a problem.
