Recently, it came to light that Comcast was restricting traffic to certain internet users. Mostly, it was P2P sharing traffic and torrent users. While the explanation was bandwidth overusage, there are people saying it was from pressure from the RIAA and the movie industry. Legitmate users of BitTorrent send and receive their internet productions via this method and had definite problems using Comcast. Anyone who knows who PurePwnage is, knows a lot of their download traffic is in torrent form. Pay attention to this one, folks. There will be precident set today that will effect how we use the web tomorrow.
