VM has gone quiet on this. VM's logo has been removed from the Phorm site which could mean VM is quietly backing away from this as BB is their cashcow revenue stream and the new C level team would not want to be seen damaging that.

Does that deny revenue? I don't know how their model works with advertisers, is it click through which means it will deny or is it per serving. With what you detail above, the ad is still served, it is just not visible as you have blocked the final display. The advertiser pays for the serving, the viewer never sees it and Phorm takes their cut.
