I wish they could do this to MS for all their spyware, but i'm pretty sure MS probably covered their asses in the EULA

In February, Comcast admitted that for a period of six weeks it had been recording information such as the IP (Internet protocol) address of customers' computers as well as Web pages they visited. The company said it discontinued the practice following news reports and customer complaints.

The lawsuit alleges that Comcast violated the Cable TV Privacy Act of 1984, and asks the court to award $100 per day for each day of violation or up to $1,000 for all affected Comcast customers, as provided under the statute, according to Goren.

The only good security Microsoft has is securing the source code. The court doesn't know if their trying to spy on us. Of course, their doing this, this is proved, but explain it to the court.
It's easy to sue an ISP for this, because they have installed spy thingies...
