Comcast Threatens TorrentFreak For Posting Public Court Document

Posted by Unknown on from the cease-and-desist dept.

Despite being part of public court proceedings, Comcast sent a notice of infringement ordering Torrent Freak to stop hosting a letter linking a subscriber to Prenda Law. From the article: "Comcast has sent TorrentFreak a cease and desist letter, claiming copyright over contents of an article which revealed that Prenda Law was involved in operating a pirate honeypot. Failure to comply will result in a lawsuit in which the Internet provider will seek damages, a Comcast representative informs us. In addition, Comcast also alerted our hosting provider, who is now threatening to shut down our server."

    Heh, though one rather clever one that I keep hitting, if you try to interact with it, claims your IP address has been blocked by the admin and supplies an address you can message for further information. I have a feeling it just dumps you into a spam list for sale or something.

    That'd be wikipedia, and they WARNED you about posting goatse, buddy.
