This relates to the whole "mere conduit" argument I was referring to a few pages back. The ISPs often quote this kind of argument in reference to filesharing and the RIAA and MPAA etc yet when it comes to Phorm their "mere conduit" argument falls to pieces. They are being hypocritical in the extreme.
