Re: Legal P2P will be fostered; illegal P2P will be punished said by swhx7:They can't seed or cache anything from p2p without getting in legal trouble, because a lot of what's out there (and a lot of what's popular and would benefit from caching) is copyright-infringing. Sure they can ... Via DMCA notices ... just like YouTube.
Comcast already handles DMCA notices, so allowing a PeerCache and applying notice handling to that would be no big whoop (hell, it might end up saving time!).
Now DMCA is broken itself, but that's a different story.

kudos:1 | Yep. American laws gives protection to automated non-human intervention systems. Aslong as the humans responsible for the automated non-human system responds to DCMA takedowns/supeonas/orders, everything is perfectly legal. Otherwise your ISP would be held as liable as you for any p2p you do, and the Tier 1 too, and the leasers of the fiber optic lines, and the city too (for aiding copyright infrindgment). |
