Comcast threatens site for posting public record subpoena, then backs down
http://j.mp/15afwfK (Torrent Freak)
"Comcast has sent TorrentFreak a cease and desist letter, claiming
copyright over contents of an article which revealed that Prenda Law
was involved in operating a pirate honeypot. Failure to comply will
result in a lawsuit in which the Internet provider will seek damages,
a Comcast representative informs us. In addition, Comcast also alerted
our hosting provider, who is now threatening to shut down our server."

Comcast later claimed this threat was "in error."
