Ok, someone mentioned in the comments on The Register Website that we could make a petition regarding RIPA on this site: http://www.petitiononline.com/

I would welcome input on the following which I am considering posting to that site:

"We, the hereby undersigned, petition the United Kingdom Prime Minister Gordon Brown to ask the Home Office to launch an investigation into British Telecom and Phorms criminal breach of the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 (RIPA) during secret trials in 2006 and 2007.

BT have recently admitted to carrying out secret trials of Phorms technology in 2006 and 2007 without their users consent or permission. Many experts, including the Foundation for Information Policy Research and also the Open Rights Group, contend that these trials constituted illegal interception and as such were a criminal breach of RIPA.

We ask that the Prime Minister require the Home Office to launch an investigation into these breaches which constitute a large scale intrustion of online-privacy."
