Just to add my 2¢, I agree with others, Anti-competitive, not Net Neutrality.
The part I don't like is forcing content through Comcast's platform. I'm still a little sore at them for not providing PAC12 sports Network to customers on the much of the East Coast. And even if the did, you have to access online streams through Comcast while every other Cable Company just authenticates and then lets the stream come direct from the PAC12 Network webpage.
Yes, it appears every device needs to be approved and registered. Looking at the help page for the XFinity TV Go App, a Comcast customer is allowed up to 3 simultaneous streams. I haven't looked at the HBOGo app in a while, but I see references to authorize devices in their Help page also. I assume this is their way of blocking you from giving your password out to multiple friends.
And it's not just for devices behind your router, I can access streaming content from either XFinity GO or HBO GO from anywhere.
It would depend on where they are peacefully protesting. The recent protests in Taiwan come to mind. If I remember correctly, they were blocking one of the main subway stations in the business district (or something like that). Sane idea idea if protestors block an entire main street.
I don't see a problem with a peaceful protest blocking access to something (street, building, entrance gate, treeline) for a period of time, but at some point, blocking something may block someone else's livelihood or cause danger to other citizens.

Re: unauthorized listening
I've actually heard of someone getting a ticket "unauthorized broadcast" for listening to a CD in their car to loud.
