No, I'm thinking they are not legally allowed to kill your connection for using torrent clients anymore. They will cap the hell out of your bandwidth though for peer2peer, usenet (newsgroups), and known sites like sourceforge. Even a few legal pay subscription sites using ssl and other encryption are capped as filesharing protocols.
It's not even about the money.... It costs Comcast no more or less to allow you to grab all you want..... it's about control, and some booty kissing to avoid an entertainment company lawsuit.
