Agreed and not only that, as you and others have stated, we need to move some of the Phocus (sorry!) from Phorm onto the ISPs.

FIPR have again stated that they feel Phorm is illegal under RIPA (after visiting Phorm) which just reinforces my point. BT, CPW and VM could literally criminalise millions over night if they deploy this. Also, as I have said before, if you have opted in and the ISP can in anyway wriggle out of criminal charges by passing the buck on to you for initiating the communication after opting in, you can be damn sure that is exactly what they are going to do.
Wake up people, opt-in and you risk becoming a criminal, opt-out and your privacy is retained AND you don't risk becoming a criminal. It is an easy option in my opinion.

Definately agree. I have posted my letter to liberty (am sure its full of grammar mistakes and maybe not the best written ever) and if I get any response I will post it here. I included my email address in the letter in the hope that it would mean a quicker response. Trying to think positive despite the fact there was no response to my earlier email. I got another response from one MEP but it was just to say they were passing on my letter to another MEP who would hopefully be in touch.

Hope you feel better real soon, Alexander. Migraines can be really nasty/ Luckily I only get migraines occasionally. Get some rest.
