I have in my hand a list of….well, I won’t go all McCarthy here, but the United States House of Representatives has been very naughty.

In total we found more than 800 IP-addresses assigned to the U.S. House of Representatives from where content has been shared on BitTorrent. After a closer inspection it quickly became clear the House isn’t just using it for legitimate downloads either, quite the opposite.

As the website Torrent Freak says “they pirate a lot.” This leads me to wonder whether the RIAA or the MPAA will attempt to sue the House.

What strikes me is how brazen some of the people who work on Capitol Hill can be in downloading stuff on work time. Check out this item below tracked at the website Youhavedownloaded.

The FCC is going to punish Comast for blocking traffic coming from peer to peer networks.

If the punishment comes through, which is all but assured now, Comcast wouldn’t be fined. But it would be ordered to stop blocking or slowing traffic to peer-to-peer sites like BitTorrent, explain to consumers and the commission how it has blocked such traffic in the past, and publicly disclose how it plans to manage its network in the future.

Unfortunatley they won’t be fined. At least they’re being regulated.
