i had not looked at Front Porch's tech details as yet as it was thought they hasnt got to the Uk at the time, but now it may need addressing!

this report is dated April 3rd 2001, have they been breaking the RIPA all this time (well since it became law)in the UK, how about the other laws in Alexanders PDF too, as they have been around far longer..

the linked page says they/Front Porch dont use cookies so that leaves direct ISP given (as per the EU data commissioners point) personal IP address as per the NebuAd way.....

Well as BT acquired Madasafish in mid 2007 and Phorm claim to have an 'exclusive' deal with BT presumably FrontPorch got shown the door (ouch!)
