Comcast fights Internet child pornography
June 27, 2006 on 11:08 pm | In comcast |With their current policy, Comcast Intenet retains IP address records of Internet users for 31 days. However, Comcast announced at a congressional subcommittee hearing that starting later this year, their policy is going to be changed, and records will be retained for 180 day.
This change in policy comes after Comcast failed to provide the IP records in an investigation of an Internet user, who was distributing a videotaped rape of a two-year old child.
Other Internet Service Providers, such as Earthlink, retain records for up to 7 years.
Now, while anyone can understand the importance of bring people who distribute child porn to justice, how many more soccer moms will be sued and harassed by the RIAA, now that IP records are going to be retained for a longer period of time?
