More from Charles Arthur, interestingly, following on from yesterday's deafening silence from BT, Phorm had this to say w/r/t the FIPR documents.

"FIPR is abusing its influence and promoting its own agenda by encouraging a frivolous debate about the legality of a legitimate e-commerce business. Internet users would be better served if FIPR focused on the benefits of the online technologies available today rather than undermine the online privacy debate and block technological progress. That would help people to make valid informed choices about the services they want to use."

So, not a refutation of the points, in any way, but straight on to the ad-hominem attacks. Rattled or what ?

And is it even possible to have a "frivolous debate about the legality of" something ?

Sounds like an epic fail to me. I don't think any decent PR would have let that statement pass, either, to combative, so perhaps Phorm have ditched their flying PR monkeys.
Agreed.
Hope Kent hasn't accepted any investment from, erm, the shadier side of Moscow's business community!

Is that blood that I can smell?
