Wouldn't you have to actually get the letter copyrighted? Just saying that you can copyright the letter doesn't make it automatically copyrighted, does it?
It's funny how the author speculates: Is comcast doing this? But everyone reads it as: Comcast is doing this. I'd wager that some company thinks it owns the rights to these movies, contacted Comcast with the IPs of the people that were downloading, and Comcast sent the downloaders a notice. I really think this is more a case of Comcast covering their ass than actaully trying to get people to stop downloading.
I purchased a 750 GB hard drive from Best Buy, installed it in my machine, and found that it was a 250 GB hard drive. The weird thing was that it was the same model number as the hard drive I already had installed in the machine, so it took some head-scratching to figure out what happened. The 250 label had been replaced with the 750 label, and it was almost perfect, except for 2 small scratches. I went to Seagates website, and found that my "new" drive had been sold 2 months previous. Best Buy took it back, but insisted that they do not re-stock returned hard drives. I knew they were lying. The thing is, I think that the employees at the store actually believe it.

So Utah is a city now?
So much for a Preacher Movie ever being made.

Even with the looming writers' strike?
