I won't hit "quote" this time as the posts are getting bit a long but this post is directed at amateria.
With regards to processing POST data, this is an area I have been umming and arring on too. There is an argument appearing from some academics/experts that are questioning the legitimacy of ICO's claims that this is not a privacy issue. Based on the fact that intercepting and copying the communication/data; scanning; and anonymising the data is defined as processing. I actually agree with this and have been considering adding the DPA to the article to cover this topic.
I agree Copyright is relevant as well and I think in order to make the article comprehensive it would certainly be advisable to include it. You are probably right regarding my aversion to copyright law due to my past experiences; the entire situation took a lot out of me at the time so it is something I try to steer clear of now. So I will be adding Copyright and hope to have something written on the subject sometime tomorrow.
It is also interesting to see the Fraud Act 2006 mentioned on the UKCrypto mailing list so I will be adding some information on that topic as well.
Thanks again for your input.

This issue seems to have taken over my life. I research, write, research, write, drink coffee, research, eventually sleep, wake up and start the process all over again. I actually sat here for a whole hour this morning puzzled that I was not seeing any action on the stock markets before I realised it was Saturday.
Mind you idle hands and all that so I suppose it is a good thing to keep me busy
