Besides, I have open wifi, Peerguardian, and I don't download illegally so for me it's a non-issue. I've got like 400 DVDs, just ask Ch'i.
It was an attempt to diffuse growing hostilities. I think it worked.

While comcast may not be the "model" , as you put it, you can read their TOS and see that they have the same security requirement. Just because you don't like what it says doesn't mean you aren't going to be held liable for it.
Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.
By that I also include having to defend your position or "innocence" from utilizing such "grey" area softwares like p2p and bittorrents.

Security
You are responsible for any misuse of the Service, even if the misuse was committed by a friend, family member, or guest with access to your Service account. Therefore, you must take steps to ensure that others do not use your account to gain unauthorized access to the Service by, for example, strictly maintaining the confidentiality of your Service login and password. In all cases, you are solely responsible for the security of any device you choose to connect to the Service, including any data stored or shared on that device. Comcast recommends against enabling file or printer sharing unless you do so in strict compliance with all security recommendations and features provided by Comcast and the manufacturer of the applicable file or printer sharing devices. Any files or devices you choose to make available for shared access on a home LAN, for example, should be protected with a strong password or as otherwise appropriate.
