So whereas it may be unusual to use the ECHR against a private corporation, it certainly is possible. I have been saying from Day 1 that this is a Human Rights issue as well as a criminal issue under RIPA and I still believe that to be the case.

Thats reassuring to know. When I read up on article 8 of the ECHR I too interpreted it to mean that it couldnt apply to companies. Glad to know I was wrong. We should use any and all avenues open to us.
Speaking of which, did you manage to fix your friends laptop and speak to him to get some advice vis-a-vis an application for an injunction of some sort?
