In disturbing news this week Cablevision’s high speed broadband unit OptimumOnline has sent letters to subscribers warning that uploading to P2P networks won’t be tolerated because it allows users to access the files on your hard drive. No kidding.
They went so far as to provide a list of non tolerated P2Ps, although no doubt other clients wont be acceptable either.
The song remains the same even if the lyrics have changed. Now the concerns are security and “protecting the customer”. They havent mentioned banning access to other internet problem areas like compromised websites and email however
