The only daily paper that covered it in some real depth were the Daily Mail, but they've gone very quiet lately.
Contrast with Chris Williams amazing coverage on the Register. The guy has done a stunning job of exposing BT. See here; Net think thank: Phorm is illegal |
Reguarding the news link; this is what i am saying, if 1 online newspaper can see this nonsence is illegal then why on earth are people entertaining this idea, are they chosing to ignore the main fact, this system isillegal?
I have already rattled off a leter to virgin denying them the permission to view /use/sell anything that comes from my home, and if they chose to ignore this then i will take them to court as i listed all the laws that they would be breeching/breaking [thanks to my fellow forum members for the information!]
I really cannot see why people are not waking up and showing kent & phorm the contempt they deserve, as if I was to go and steal peoples mail from their letterboxes, this would also be illegal, and you can bet all the beans in the world the police would not think twice about arresting me and sending me to court with the appropriate sentence, which i would deserve if I did this, so what is any different?
Boot the whole govenment out, this is what I say,they're all as bent as a corkscrewand the biggest drug dealers around [but that is another matter]
sorry for the mega rant, it is just that i cannot understand how & why this is going aheadand why this has not beed stopped dead in its tracks
