So apparently Comcast is using a new technology that interferes with some high speed internet users from sharing files. This article brings up that Comcast, goes against "net neutrality", the equal treatment of internet traffic, which isn't enforced by the law, however some regulations regulations do support net neutrality.

So here's the big question: Is what Comcast is doing right or wrong? Well, it seems as though Comcast may have the right to do this. I beleive that in their terms of use, they have created a stipulation that allows them to monitor and control te level of traffic a customer uses. However, is the reason that they are doing this right?

It seems as though Comcast is simply doing this to save bandwidth. If this is the case then they should be treating all users of the service equally, and start kicking off obsessive World of Warcraft players too. Of course, Comcast could always argue that they are targeting filesharers, who mostly violate c9opyright laws. It doesn't seem as though Comcast is taking this arguement though.
