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 P2P’s, although no doubt other clients won’t be acceptable either.
The song remains the same even if the lyrics have changed. Now the concerns are “security” and “protecting the customer”. They haven’t mentioned banning access to other internet problem areas like compromised websites and email however…
– js.
