EFF confirms Bittorrent Interfence by Comcast
Ars Technica reported yesterday about a study published by the EFF that confirms Comcast is interfering with bittorrent traffic regardless if its being used legally to share things that are public domain. I’ve noticed this myself when using bittorrent to download Ubuntu ISO’s. This study confirms what was reported in October by the Associated Press.
“Comcast is discriminating among different kinds of Internet traffic based on the protocols being used by its customers,” said EFF Senior Intellectual Property Attorney Fred von Lohmann. “When confronted, Comcast has been evasive and misleading in its responses, so we decided to start gathering the facts ourselves.”
Lets hope the FCC will step in.
