Several ISPs are doing this right now. Get a charge pressed and a conviction made on any US ISP with similar terms to Comcast and you could win the bet. (We might well help defend this poor victim, but in fact I’m pretty sure you could not even get an indictment, let alone a conviction.) The truth is the claim that it is criminal is entirely bogus, and since you’re the one asserting it, you need to come up with some facts to back it up, since accusing people of being criminals and aiding criminals is a very serious accusation. So back it up, or back down. I doubt you could even get a serious independent lawyer to agree with you, let alone a prosecutor. Go advance your theory in a more widely read place than the comments on my blog if you really believe it, but don’t expect to like the results you get back.

Or better yet, let’s talk about the real issues. Does P2P, when used properly and for legal purposes (such as when I download my newest ubuntu distro) help the internet and the world, or harm it.
