Yep really funny that post where the guy is going to give a talk of how they broke the law by using Bt,talk talk and virgin media without anyone knowing (wonder who was affected in the virgin media camp was it me with the ultra ballistic latency i was having for months and numerous reformats
).
Also interesting to note that they keep refering to Mr Davies role in privacy international in replys as mr davies has been said to quote that any company who he has a contract or dealings with that quote his role in PI he will cease that very contract instantly (i can find his exact quote if needed) phorm have also used this quote in the past yet hes still working for them
.
If this whole episode was software based i.e the isp involved gave you a disk which installed the said ad serving software if YOU wanted it fine i'd have no problem letting it gather dust on some shelf, but the thing comes to a head when spyware companies put hardware in place to do it, that should have been the only Opt in covered and legal not something which is a data mining set top box engineered as the first stop on the bus route to spyville.
