Comcast blocking p2p uploads

Who are we to say what is illegal traffic... I mean they could be
downloading anything from p2p not just mp3's.. don't get me wrong I HATE WoW
but it uses bittorrent to decentralize its updates.

I love how the framed it as "data discrimination".  Let's just be
honest... 99% of it was illegal traffic taking up far more than their
fair share of bandwidth.
