Is there any precedence for BT suing an individual?
I was wondering Ms Sanderson had overstepped the mark with this tactic. In the bigger scheme of BT they have the corporate brand image to protect. |

It's actually a good way of rounding off the revenue stream. Profile the blogger's internet usage, and punt it. Profile the blogs webserver and generate kewords, punt advertising based upon it, and lastly, sue the blogger.

Cookies are as you said. :) HTH Does Emma S. have a case against you? Did BT not assure the ICO that no personal data was collected? The report shows they did harvest and use people's IP addresses, which is personal data. Where's the defamation? OB |

I suspect you already know what the situation is, but just to spell it out to the wider readership -- the BT/Phorm crooks are playing a war of attrition with Alexander they have got no intention of going to court with him because although they could probably get a £1Million judgement against him for defamation (which they would never collect), the damage to them would be 10's if not 100's of millions £££ in the providing the catalyst to their collective demise. BT are on a hiding to nothing with this Phorm relationship, their risky gamble is that the British consumers will accept the Intra-ISP Rootkit spying. Phase 1 of the project has already failed, namely to roll out WebLies and no one notice or bother. Phase 2 continue the trial phase and hope they can ride the storm: Failing already -- delayed/setback trial dates, legal team clearly worried, BT Echelons clearly worried, cannot find 10,000 willing reliable dupes to fake a positive outcome. Alex you should have just let them continue to threaten to take you to court for defamation, we would have seen the collapse of Phorm and several BT execs out on their ear and your future as an advocate guaranteed. Anyway you're in charge of what you do so I guess you'll have this all figured out in your own mind. If stuttering Emma continues to be a pain give her the last warning and quote the 1997 Harassment Act at her. 'Big grin' Incidently Oro PM'd me regarding the mystery post about the legal threats maybe s/he will PM you. https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2008/06/72.jpg |

R Jones. Those thirteen points you posted on the BT forum (note direct link) are spot on. Unfortunately I sent another letter to my MP before I saw them.
Any objection to those being cross-posted on other forums? NOTE: Link to a BT forum post by changing the &start=xxx where xxx is the post count. (post is placed first on the page) Works even if not a BT customer and therefore not registered with the BT forums . E.g: http://www.beta.bt.com/bta/forums/th...t=801&tstart=0 |

Of course phorm can do whatever the f*ck they like because the muppets at BT clearly haven't got a clue what they are up to or the nous to understand it, and Earnst & Young and/or PI are going to run a mile from anything technical. No wonder the NPfIT is such a bloody shambles if the quality (I use the term loosely) of BT staff is anything like that we have seen first hand involved in the phorm fiasco. Sheer utter incompetence! How the devil can they try to sell their so-called expertise to others? Lets see BT try to sue me over that one then.

a few words that mean a lot to customers that have this year with this been tested trailed and failed, respect, trust. BT was heading the right way trust and many respected but now they need to re-earn this back. Phorm has to learn they cannot buy respectability it is earned, trust is also earned. Kents actions are what he is judged on to see how much or if we can sadly he has also failed mind he might have half tried but then I am cynical with him after his rootkit killed my sons computer. MPO BT have jumped in bed with the devil, he tempted them offering money and BT sold their soul for the cash. The big problem is they also sold their customer’s souls and now need to find a stealth way to deliver without the customers finding out and fleeing to where they are safe. |

Wouldn't it be nice, if the groups in this Country took a leaf out of the USA regarding Phorm et al. (As reported by The Register)
