Earlier today I e-mailed both ICO and the Home Office to find out what the nature of the advice they had given Phorm was (though I doubt they'll actually tell me - it's not like I pay their wages or anything ). I also raised with them the issue of web hosts opting out as that seems to have been avoided by Phorm and BT so far. I had come to the same conclusions as you regarding the Copyright Designs and Patents Act with regards to publishing a derivative work, and likened it to making a copy of the Times, Hansard, etc adding a load of adverts and then passing it on (I assume they will understand that).

Take your time they will respond, they responded to me online this morning I believe or maybe just a million to one coincidence plus I got a lovely thank you notice.. C'mon, who's your real friend here, ICO or ******s online?
