Re: Another one Oh, come on. So you don't approach a problem because you think it might be too hard to solve?
I would sue Comcast the first time they altered one of my webpages mid-stream. It happened to Gator, and it will happen to them.
What it comes down to is copyright infringement. Comcast is using competitors' copyrighted webpages for their own personal profit. While Comcast certainly has the right to terminate service to any of their own customers for any reason (just read your ToS), they have no legal standing to modify data coming from upstream.
The right place to fight this behavior is in the courts, not the FCC. We don't need government regulation, the requisite laws are already there.
Anyway, this problem will disappear over time. Processor power is cheap and only getting cheaper, and you will see more and more pages are SSL'd by default, not just when you're typing in your credit card number. |
