Yeah, to be honest I see that letter as a qualified backing off. They're no longer saying "yar boo sucks we're going ahead" - it's much more cautious and sober, even hinting that they may not go ahead with it.

It also looks like they're finally getting the message that sending out the "Webwise benefits you" form emails a lot of us got just winds people up instead of placating them.

I'd say they're spooked - people don't like having their company splashed on the Beeb next to the word "illegal", and they don't want to be next. So, keep up the pressure, looks like it might actually be making a difference.
