There's a good conversation going on over on Slashdot at: 

http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/11/22/013226&mode=thread&tid=123

about a dozen or so cable modem users who are in a lot of trouble over
uncapping their cable modems. 

The article Slashdot is talking about is here:

Apparently, the cable company claimed hundreds of thousands of dollars of
damage and sicced the FBI on some users who changed the config files on
their cable modems so they would be able to use greater bandwidth
allotments. 

One of the people netted in this campaign is due to become a Microsoft MVP
this summer and has just about lost his business. The FBI seized all of his
equipment, including machines storing client contacts, business files, and a
book he wrote.
