however depending on that case in the midwest we could find out the "monitoring" services the content owners use could have questionable legality.

An owner of a copyrighted work (that you are sharing with BitTorrent, apparently) has notified Comcast of your actions and requested information about you. Comcast won't divulge your personal information without a subpoena (unlike certain telcos that go unnamed), but they will pass on the notice to you. You might want to knock it off.

Comcast-instigated TOS notices are generally about quantity of bandwidth consumption, not the content itself.

Interested in open source engine management for your Subaru?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20199232 Thu, 20 Mar 2008 22:03:52 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20199144 mastershake26 : I apologize for the n00b question. I just received this letter from Comcast below and am seriously worried. My question is are they monitoring my IP ports scanning what applications I use? Is this limited just to BitTorrent? Or is this just a scare tactic to stop me from downloading too much each month? Any advice on what to do would be greatly appreciated, please don't flame the n00b.
