They should have to pay a lot more, it was a breach of contract, they should pay for the contract being broken, not a token amount.
 
$16.00 for "victims" and $3 million for lawyers, thats funny. They are not really victims I know, but how messed up is the legal system in the states that it takes 3 years to settle a lawsuit like this. Maybe ISP's need to up their game so they don't have to worry about heavy traffic.

Seriously, go check out how it works. Maybe, just maybe, you'll have a newly earned respect for the communications division. People make mistakes and they are paying back to the community.
 
Lmfao at 3 mil for the lawyers. Cant live without em, but the world would be so much better if they didnt exist at the same time.
 
the us justice system has never been about victims just money...the only winners are lawyers...why cases like these arent battle by consumer groups with the proceeds being invested in ie.better access to internet i dt know.....these lawsuits rarely benefits the victim and always the lawyer.

Let me guess you work for Comcast. Tell Comcast to invest in their infrastructure. And it wasnt a mistake it was against the contract that they wrote. It was a breech of contract and they should have had to pay alot more than 16million.

So if I had my internet speed cut to 2k/sec for running a p2p program when my advertised speed was 10mb/sec that warrants me 16 bucks to make it all better? If I lose a day of service due to problems with the cable line they give me more money than that!
 
A whole $16... I think they should at minimum have to pay for the months of service they violated their contract back to their customers. So 6 months at $49.99, they owe me $300! $16 is a slap in the face and next we should file a class action lawsuit against the lawyers for taking ~20% of the settlement.
 
I like how people leave genuine heart felt comments on here, that I agree with. Then all the paid bloggers / press what ever you want to call them, come on here and give thumbs down to all of them to make it look like no one agrees with them.

I agree with every one, they should have paid out the teeth for this.
 
[citation][nom]eugenester[/nom]Lmfao at 3 mil for the lawyers. Cant live without em, but the world would be so much better if they didnt exist at the same time.[/citation]
But it would've cost more the improve their services..that's why they chose the more profitable way out
 
I'm getting my $16. Sure, maybe we think we are due more money. But someone did stand up to Comcast and it earned people some money back and most importantly, Comcast is being held accountable.

So at the very least, stop bitching about it and go collect your $16 if your a Comcast customer. I know I will.

No, you don't admit to illegally sharing anything. Since when is P2P illegal? Most Linux ISO's that I download are with torrents, since that puts less load on the servers. The 3GB mod I downloaded yesterday was also over a torrent. As were all the patches for StarCraft II.
 
Comcast users really were victims. I've personally been screwed by them, pay for their high speed service and almost no PC game was playable due to high ping and xbox live wasn't even usable, repeatedly disconnected. Comcasts excuse for why xbox live didn't work, our xbox wasn't powerful enough to handle the games we were playing. lmao

Of course later we learned they were capping our connection because we used bittorrent, but never going back to them again.
 
The missing print is that those that claim they used those P2P services will also have their names and ip addresses handed over by the same lawyers to the RIAA and MPAA! BAM!
 
It's always like this: victims have very little or no role in the criminal justice system. Honestly, it's a sad system. We need to reform this so that criminals aren't rewarded while victims get nothing..
 
Every time there's a class and a settlement and then subscribers don't respond to it. Guess who gets to keep the rest of the money? the lawyers. might as well dip in otherwise the evil people (lawyers) are getting more money out of it than they need to.
