Firstly let me clear I don't actually buy the daily mail
What I was trying to illustrate was my opinion that it is impractical to deny consent to read something which is being made generally available. For example, if someone opens your mail and reads a letter, that is clearly interception without consent. But if you send a postcard and postie reads the message - well it would be hard to argue no consent. I wasn't trying to suggest that you could breach copyright at will, just give an example of implied consent.
But IANAL or even an aspiring one(AH) but do have several decades studying in the (IT) corporate university of life.

Also do you think that the Daily Mail are happy that the value of the adverts in their newspaper is being decreased because you will be targeted with adverts for competitive products based on the ones you have read? How long before advertisers realise what's happening and stop placing adverts in the Daily Mail?

This is indeed the implication of signing up with OIX and IMHO is what is behind K*nts assertion that over time there will be fewer adverts (if only!) because targeted ads will supplant them thru out the Internet. Doesn't make it illegal though...
