I wonder if it might rattle BT's corporate cage if you asked them to publicly indemnify all consenting BT Webwise users should any legal proceedings be started against them? (Although if I remember correctly, you cannot enforce an indemnity against an illegal action?)
If nothing else, it might get somebody to evaluate the potential legal liability should all BT's privacy and legal research be overturned...
