AH - You are correct. Your petition is pretty clear to anyone reading it.
Just to remind anyone reading
(RIPA)
1 Unlawful interception
(1) It shall be an offence for a person intentionally and without lawful authority to intercept, at any place in the United Kingdom, any communication in the course of its transmission by means ofâ€â€
(a) a public postal service; or
(b) a public telecommunication system.
BT have admitted publicly that they did indeed intercept communications last summer. What's the problem? Part 1, Chapter 1, Item 1. Why do we even require a petition? BT at least have clearly crossed the line.
Something else I have not seen any questions about is the Patent aspect that Phorm are selling. My understanding was that you could not patent a computer program or a business method in the UK. (Phorm's patent seems to be a hybrid computer program and business method) What's going on there? Patent applied for but not yet granted? PhormTeam?

BT and Phorm secretly tracked 18,000 customers in 2006
Spied on, profiled, and targeted for credit cards
