Just an idea here but what would happen say if a person was invited to take part in the upcoming BT trial, opted-in but then changed their mind further down the line and blocked webwise domains in the host file by resolving them to 127.0.0.1. They would then be unable to browse.

In that situation does anyone think they would have a decent case for a small claims case against BT for breech of contract? Just thinking that just as spybot s & d uses that very way to help protect against spyware and its a well established pc security practice, would they have a good case?
