it seems its more him being slippery when wet

UPDATE, 02/05/2008: Some readers have asked for my opinion on BT's trial of Phorm, a trial that ran without user consent.
Did it breach RIPA?
Personally, I think that it probably did.
But
I doubt the question will ever come before a court.
The Home Office has already
indicated that it does not intend to take action.
I expect that is because it views the trial as an isolated incident.
It would only take action if it believed that Phorm would normally operate without consent.
Some have compared BT's trial to the actions that led to the
conviction under RIPA of Demon and Redbus founder Cliff Stanford.
I think a court would consider the circumstances quite different, though.
Three readers have also noted that Pinsent Masons is one of the firms on BT's legal panel and asked me to disclose that relationship on this page. The firm is on BT's legal panel though we didn't advise on Phorm. As a large commercial law firm we are on lots of companies' legal panels.

its a very interesting response once you read between the lines and , he's clearly trying to underplay the real facts....
he's saying in effect, although a crime took place, it only happened once, so thats ok, the courts wount get the chance to rule on a punishment (even if that were to amount to a mear fine and suspended imprisonment)as no ones willing to bring it to court.....
that theres clear case law
in the stanford case, but seeing as its BT and not a smaller firm with lower cashflow, and it involves far more than a single person's data being unlawfully intercepted then its fine...
just like for instance, other BIG business loan practices can slide and be written off,but you better not miss your morgage loan paymant or loose your house being small fry.....
you might get the impression he's under a lot of stress to try and deflect the real facts that the BT executive and involved employees are under real threat of criminal conviction ....
on the averages, as per the stanford RIPA case, its seems to be on the cards for next year or the year after, before we might see the people involved in the dock... perhaps.
is what your after Florence in this lot
