Re: Virgin Media Phorm Webwise Adverts [Updated: See Post No. 1, 77, 102 & 797]

while iv not really looked that hard, all the Uk law seems to refect that
5. Injunctions are
civil orders obtained from the County Court.

under EU law (iv not looked yet) it might be that it needs a high court judge ruling to keep it in place....

but you have to wonder how much copy in the mainstream press a simple County Court Injunction against the 3 main ISP CEO's and COO's will get.... 75% of the whole UK Broadband market remember, under(per-)Phorm.

the bank charges press coverage on overdrive perhaps

i still think the users keyboard entry and click data copyright has lots of chance to cover many more legal miles in this, along side and/or seperate to RIPA and DPA, but noone seems interested in protecting or mentioning that aspect.

and thats strange given the mass of news copy given to forcing ISPs to install the very same deep-packet inspection equipment to monitor commercial and domestic piracy for the corporations.

what about the domestic users copyright and the ISP's and profiling companys commercial piracy of that for profit?....

iv found lots of interesting information on the http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk...ternet-issues/ messageboard in the past, its been real slow for a while though.

it might be werth asking BankFodder

The Consumer Action Group to see if he can give any legal tips in this growing UK ISP/Phorm fight and other related matters.

such as throttling,billing after account closer, unlawful charges etc if your looking to win other smaller battles for the ordinary users.
