EU: media lobby's monitoring proposal rejected
,----[ Quote ]
| The Telecommunications Package will not prescribe uninterrupted monitoring of
| the internet as demanded by the Conservatives on behalf of the media and
| entertainment industry. On Monday evening, the Industry, Research and Energy
| Committee (ITRE) and the Internal Market and Consumer Protection Committee
| (IMCO) of the European Parliament voted on around 1,000 changes to the EU
| Telecom rules, consolidated into over 30 amendments. The compromise proposal
| put forward by the rapporteur for the draft framework directive, Catherine
| Trautmann, was accepted. The Conservatives are said to have become more
| sceptical about "internet monitoring".

Is Comcast's BitTorrent filtering violating the law?
,----[ Quote ]
| Assuming that the SYN packet goes through, the three-way handshake is allowed
| to happen, then the two hosts will be able to begin communicating. Your ISP
| can still kill the connection later, should they wish to, merely by blocking
| the transmission of future packets.
|
| According to Torrent Freak, Comcast is not doing this. They are instead
| sending a reset (or RST) packet to the Comcast customer, pretending to be
| from the host at the end of the BitTorrent connection.
