In the US at least you have to authenticate with your Comcast credentials and not like a traditional open wifi where you can just make up an email and accept the terms of service. I also understand that it is a different IP than the subscriber. Based on this the subscriber should be protected from anyone doing anything illegal and causing the SWAT team to pay a visit. I haven't upgraded my gear though. Now..they are doing this on your electric bill and taking up space (albeit a small amount of it) in your home.
Even if that weren't the problem, using third-party premises to host services without authorization is illegal (or should be). Also, using installed devices for purposes other than the receiving the service. Best regards.
