Just a though...

If Phorm is 'legal', then content owners
must assume that all ISPs are untrustworthy and protect their pages accordingly.
If I had any money to speak of, it would be in SSL certificate authority shares at the moment.
Even so a copyright claim would leave them sitting in smouldering ruins too. Did you see the thread on badphorm?
The Phorm process violates the rights of the copyright holder because
* An unlicenced copy of the work is created for commercial exploitation ('profiler copy')
* An unlicenced derivative work is created for commercial exploitation ('user profile')
* The copying may be aggravated by fraud, deception, and concealment (creating fake cookies, stripping UID usage data)
* Content creators don't get paid a royalty
Fortunatly there is a solution, about to go public.
And you're going to love the name too.
