My email to Emma Sanderson: (in full)

[I]Greetings.
Today's topic is the much neglected subject of website copyright which BT/Phorm seem to think does not apply to them.

I keep saying that someone should put this to the test. AFAIK, all BT domains use http, are on the web and allow themselves to be crawled by Google search engines.

This would mean, according to them, that all BT websites have their copyright nulled and are open to commercial exploitation.

Should we figure out a way to commercially exploit BT websites?

How about re-selling their phones and services and use the marketting material directly from their own web-pages so you don't have to spend loads on web-site development.

I know where you're coming from but I'm not sure this is the wisest course of action. Don't want to give them the ammunition to shoot us with.

I use AVG, which has an inline link checker for all search results on the major search engines, it's completely free and updates automatically, and gives visual clues to the safety of the links on the page. Best of all it doesn't require me to having my entire browsing history profiled.

I'd like to hear what Emma has to say, though.

Have you not been paying attention?

Firefox's anti phishing features are free, continually updated and do not require the user to waste time on downloads and updates.

Webwise will never be able to protect against all the threats that a PC based solution can.

They can spend as much dosh on it as they like, and waste years of computer time (that's computer-years, not man-years) - the difficulty in breaking encryption is [I]mathematically fundamental.

Could you remind me Florence, my brain is beginning to get very tired. What did 121Media do before they were known as Phorm. Were they great leaders in the anti-spyware and anti-Phishing business?
