One thing that does slightly worry me regarding a change of law is that campaigners are already calling for RIPA to be changed with regard to the issue of Local Councils using RIPA to use surveillance in matters such as littering and dog fouling etc etc

Call me cynical but I wouldn't be surprised if in some future revision of RIPA the government were to slip in some Phorm/NebuAd friendly provision or they might just tag on an amendment to some piece of obscure, unrelated legislation that is already going through second reading. They have done it before and I wouldn't be surprised by ANYTHING this government does these days.

Oh and I am still waiting for any response from my MP, Liberty, Computer Crime Unit of Met Police and the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals.
