I was going to create a thread but it's related so...

Comcast challenges copyright claims and refuses to hand over info on suspected media pirates. They've described such lawsuits as criminal shakedowns of citizens.

Seems like quite the tug of war between the corporate state and champions of media freedom. Comcast being 1 of the 'victims' of pirating and 1 of the largest ISPs in America should make their rebellion that much more potent.

Thank you for the link. I think that it is too late to change the Internet; people like it too much.

I really hope so.
