I just had to create a/. account just to point out some of the ignorance shown in comments on this story. Some people have claimed that Comcast has not broken any laws. I am sorry but you are sadly mistaken if you believe that. What they are doing is sending RST flags inside TCP/IP packets that are spoofed to appear to come from the peers you are connecting to through torrent. This is a crime we like to call fraud due to the fact that they are impersonating the peer you are communicating with. This makes the act 100% illegal. Please people do your research before you defend such a crap company./. itself hosted a story that pointed out the fact the reason Comcast is legally culpable is because of this fraud./claps for the ignorant fools
