Comcast Protests "Shake Down" of Alleged Pirates

Wow, who would've thought that Comcast of all companies would be on the side of the pirates? Ahem, I mean "alleged" pirates.

Comcast has run out of patience with the avalanche of BitTorrent lawsuits in the United States. The ISP is now refusing to comply with court-ordered subpoenas, arguing that they are intended to "shake down" subscribers by coercing them to pay settlements. Copyright holders have responded furiously to Comcast’s new stance, claiming that the ISP is denying copyright holders the opportunity to protect their works.
