So on a legal side if a customer of VM was phormed (with or without informed consent) visited those sites and Phorm categorised the page logged and profiled the customer. This is where Pandora’s Box comes in as the person with or without Knowledge has just broken the rule on Amazon and now opened themselves up for possible prosecution.

I think I am becoming more legal minded in my thinking I need help..

Maybe Alexander could tell me if I am right or wrong the person that would be prosecuted would be the customer not the Phorm management in the case like Amazon?
