Comcast steps up for filesharing “rights”

Comcast, America’s largest ISP, has made a move to stop government regulation of the Internet, with the proposal of a filesharing bill of rights.

Despite being under investigation for meddling with users’ connection to filesharing networks, Comcast is keen on the idea of a “bill of rights and responsibilities” for users of filesharing programs like Limewire.

Comcast has already promised to stop interfering with access to filesharing services. This bill of rights would lay out what is an acceptable sue of filesharing technology. Comcast says that the move would help filesharing companies.

This could be a step forward in the battle to legalize filesharing and have it regulated. Whether or not this will be good for filesharing and free music downloads remains to be seen.

The main reason why Comcast is doing this is because the company desperately wants to avoid government intervention when it comes to filesharing.
