Oh for goodness sake, cheer up (and cheer me up too why don't you).
They won't win if you don't let them. Move to a non-Phorm ISP. Don't think about it, don't stall, don't sulk, don't hesitate... do it now. Its one call and you'll thank yourself afterwards. Vote with your feet.
Phorm still hasn't launched. Still, 3 months after it was first announced.
BT still aren't off the hook with respect to RIPA, PECR, DPA, and the consequences of their secret trials by a long chalk.
And even if... even IF behavioural targetting eventually escapes from the cess pit,
copyright ownership will lay waste to Phorm and BT like a 1000 Megaton GPS guided thermonuclear strike on their HQ.
Phorm parasites suck the life blood from content owners.
I'm certain test cases (or very big out of court settlements) are coming down the line.
And Phorm, BT, Virgin and TalkTalk directors will be left sitting on smouldering scorched earth wondering whether a chat with a copyright lawyer would have been a smart idea before switching Webwise on.

Exclusive.
