Correct. And let's be careful to distinguish criminal law from contract law. It's not illegal, it's just a violation of a broadly worded and probably difficult-to-enforce contract between the end-user and Comcast. You may want to see if you can work this from the "bottom" -- get in touch with some of the Comcast net admins, and once they're on board, get them to push the proposal upstream.
