Re: Hacking charges against Comcast? At about the same time that people who use firewalls get sued for doing the same thing.
Many commercial firewalls also send a RST back to the requesting party that is a "false 'end data transmission'" as you say.
You have a strange definition of hacking. |

| You have a strange definition of a consumer / commercial implemented firewall. |

| Strange, since I don't.
Why don't you run WireShark on some packets that come into a firewall, and then look at the response that packet gets as it has a RST sent back to the requester looking like it came from server it tried to contact, when in fact it never touched the server. |

| I dont need to, because I choose to run a firewall (as does my company) to prevent any of that data from gaining access to me.
That is done by OUR choice. They on the other hand were blocking traffic against the user's choice and it was traffic people were specifically requesting. Traffic the user had every right to request and they had NO right to block. Especially without telling them they were doing so.
There is a big difference between selling a service and blocking traffic to your consumers secretly and using a service and choosing yourself to block traffic. |
