this is most likely macrovision doing this...there are a few others that do this, but not nearly to the intensity of macrovision...

what I want to know is how is this legally allowed?

just how do they know that any user is illegally using the network?...I know for a fact that none of my downloads or uploads carry any sort of copyright so its obvious they are blindly hammering every user they can on the network...aren't DDOS attacks illegal?

download and install PeerGuardian2 to in some way mitigate the effects of this, but trust me they can still knock you off of the network with the concentrated attacks you get from their IP range...
