OK I have to say I feel a little embarrassed about all these offers of donations, but as requested I have put together a wish list on Amazon of the books from the reading list given to me by the postgrad Law Dept. at Lancaster University.
This list is recommended background reading (should be fun then) for my Masters: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/registry/...ndard&x=13&y=9 It is quite long... Alexander Hanff |

<Bill Hicks> Hallelujah! </Bill Hicks> I got one of these through today as well. A different case number too... Missed it as I was working from a laptop rather than my usual PC. "Dear CaptHunter Thank you for your correspondence dated 29th February 2008, regarding Virgin Media and Phorm. Please accept my apologies for the delay in acknowledging you, our office is currently dealing with large volumes of work. This has meant that we have been unable to deal with incoming correspondence as promptly as we would like..." |

Hi
I felt I should register here as I'm yet another avid lurker of this thread - I can usually be seen posting somewhat gloating messages in the comments section of particularly Phorm damaging articles @El Reg! Respect to all here! With regard to NebuAd whose Phorm like spyware is already deployed by a great many ISP's the other side of the pond. NebuAd is an Opt-Out cookie driven system based on consent via contractual small print - identical to the business model Phorm would need to rely on to bring in any kind of worthwhile revenue for their "poor hard up" UK ISP customers! Here's their FAQ: http://www.nebuad.com/privacy/servicesPrivacy.php Some of my personal fave snippets: ----------------------- "While NebuAd does not require or process any end-user personally-identifiable information for the purpose of delivering advertisements, our partners may have different privacy practices than our own." "We may also disclose information we have collected when we have a good-faith belief that access, use, preservation or disclosure of such information is reasonably necessary" "If NebuAd becomes involved in a merger, acquisition, or any form of sale of a majority or all of its assets, any information we have collected may be one of the assets transferred." "The information we collect is stored and processed on NebuAd’s servers in the United States. As a result, that information may be subject to access requests by governments, courts or law enforcement." ----------------------- How about that! And to think Kent Ertugrul assumed he was going to be able to get away with that kind of cr@p here! Encouraged, undoubtably, by the "official" bodies he has approached in the UK in order to validate this blatently intrusive and seemingly illegal system who all seem to have intimated that, possibly for the benefit of their own hidden agendas, if he can pull it off they'll turn a blind eye!! Well without the efforts of the forum members here plus other likeminded individuals on the Net and not forgetting El Reg then the above would already be included in the T&Cs of the top 5 ISPs in the UK - You know it would!! @Alexander Hanff - If only I'd have had something this juicy to base my dissertation on! ;) :) Thanks Paul :) |

Alexander's speech on Tuesday night has clocked up 208 downloads. In the 22 hours 45 minutes the 135Mb of video files has been online, 34.3Gb has been downloaded.
The videos and a brief explanation can now be seen here as well as the Divshare locations. Please Reddit, Digg, Stumbleupon, Facebook, blog or whatever else you can do to publicise this page rather than the Divshare locations - I'm told there's better bandwidth. A little humour, inspired by Ravenheart and based on Deep Purple mk III's song Burn... Phorm (with thanks/apologies as appropriate to David Coverdale, Ritchie Blackmore, Glenn Hughes, Jon Lord and Ian Paice) "My net's gone to pot I don't understand At 20 Meg my speed should be grand People are saying my privacy's damned Yet Virgin Media's statements are bland My screen's got these ads From where I don't know Who's my ISP telling where I go A little research Ask some techies I know All I hear Is Phorm They didn't believe All of Kent's words He said "You can trust us Now that we're rephormed. We might have been bad but not any more." The techies laughed At the claims of Phorm BT lied and tried to mask Secret tests with Phorm Their users weren't asked When the truth came out MPs were aghast At BT And Phorm You know the ICO They would not do a thing You know the ICO... *whispers* Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing *guitar solo* Dr Richard said that laws Had been broken by BT and Phorm And Alex said so too *whispers* But you know the ICO... *keyboard solo* The web's gone to pot And we all understand The government's complicit The Home Office is damned By doing nothing Played into Kent's hands Our privacy's dead There's blood on their hands Our warning came They didn't care Rights were violated They stood and stared By then it was too late No one was spared And all because Of Phorm" There's a song called Stormbringer that just begs to be transphormed... Phormbringer! |

Hey all!
I have spent since this afternoon making up a pc presentation application on my laptop that I thought I would burn and then send to friends & family and just about anyone I can think of to spread the word on Phorm. When it is all complete, I will also torrent it so it has wider publicity. If anyone would like to have a look at it, make any criticisms or additional information to add, then by all means feel free to do so! As a funny, chilish moment, move your mouse over Kent's pic for a laugh!! Click HERE Dont forget to let me know what you think so far! :) |

Interestingly, the Phorm UID is just a 16 byte number. (the size was mentioned in Dr Richard Clayton's paper). The current IPv4 addresses are just 4 byte numbers, that are usually written for humans in a dot quad notation, and have a particular meaning when used in the headers of IP packets. To allow the expansion of the internet, the IPv6 addresses were engineered to accomodate the IPv4 addresses. The IPv6 addresses are 16 byte numbers, it must just be a coincidence that the Phorm UID numbers are stored in the same number of bytes. |
