Comcast Proposes Self Regulation and P2P Bill of Rights

Torodung writes "In a recent move, Comcast has proposed a 'P2P Bill of Rights,' joining the ranks of every great monopoly when threatened by government regulation for alleged misbehavior. They have instead proposed comprehensive industry self-regulation and cooperation with major P2P software vendors as a lesser evil: 'Comcast is looking to further position itself as proactively — and responsibly — addressing the issue of managing peer-to-peer traffic that traverses its network, announcing Tuesday it will lead an industry-wide effort to create a "P2P Bill of Rights and Responsibilities" for users and Internet service providers.'"

    The answer to your post is: Guantanamo.

    That is only an example of the respect the US have for human rights.

    And about "the brutal rape and murder of children".. . I don't see why you need to add "brutal", as if some other kind of rape was less punishable.

    What some people think is that killing people is a violation of human rights, even if the murdered guy is a rapist and a murderer. The whole idea is that human rights apply to all humans. Not people you like. All humans.
