OMFG where is this going to stop?
going by that link, does this mean that if i am arrested for a crime then i can sue the police for handcuffing me or for using what can be described as forceful behaviour? this is getting pathetic! malware/spyware/virus programmers deserve to be prosicuted as mostly the user does not consent to such rubbish to be installed on their machinesand in some cases dont even know that it is there!
I remember Zango & hotbar VERY well, and it was a pain to remove, Kaspersky and others that try to prevent & remove such parasites should be commended, NOT condemned!
I really do not know what sort of a world we are living in now but i know there is no logic to all this at all

If we also edit out host files to resolve all the webwise/phorm domains to localhost and suddenly our broadband stops working. Have we not got a cut and dry case against VM under the data protection act if they thrust Phorm/webwise upon us and our broadband stops working?

They must be disregarding our legal request!

Any comments?
This is a good starting place, but i feel that it will do no good as the govenment dont give a fig about US, the very same people that are padding their already overpaid bank accounts, and this is wrong, we the people are the ones that got them where they are today, where is the respect gone?
If this phorm does actually go live and nothing is done, then there is only 1 thing to do, tell the isp where to stick their internet, as i would rather go without the internet than be spied on by god knows who and their armies of infectious computer programs.
