Because you signed up to an AUP that allows what they are doing. That, and in most states, if you rent my house, I can throw you out for no reason given that I give you proper notice and enough time. In this case, if you want to use rental analogies, that's like saying a landlord can't evict you or otherwise take action because you're having loud parties and throwing appliances out windows. P2P is about the exact opposite of "quiet enjoyment". j On 10/19/07, Patrick Giagnocavo <patrick () zill net> wrote:

If Comcast were a landlord, they would be interfering with my quiet enjoyment and my rights in possession. Interfering with my traffic rather than blocking it, could lose them common carrier protection. They are exerting editorial control, in a fashion, over what I transmit and receive. --Patrick
