If your running a computer with DNS server within say Comcast -- you cant expect your DNS server to propagate the changes to DNS servers elsewhere can you do to potential port blocking restrictions? As far as the topic being discussed -- way too much judicial over-reach in my opinion.

Running servers on residential Comcast connections is a violation of the Terms of Service which you agreed to implicitly by having the service provided. That's true for most every ISP these days. If you want to run servers, you need to purchase a business-level account, or use virtual servers in the cloud as I do.

I think it is a bad decision by the court that gives MS such power. An unaccountable, closed entity cannot be given the power to police the internet.

The courts authorize MS or another comparable entity to do this sort of thing because no government agency with the jurisdiction has the means to do it.

In this case, MS screwed up.

Going after illegal botnets and malware distributors seems a reasonable thing to do.
