Can I ask a simple question, so why are you here?
You're well aware of the concerns people have, you've been following it closely. Even getting ejected from BadPhorm at one point IIRC.
The reason this will never go away as a grass roots campaign is simply this. What is at stake is a basic freedom to communicate.
Freedom to communicate privately, securely, and with integrity. That's what RIPA, Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights, the EC Framework Directive 2002/58/EC, and a ton of other carefully considered legislation both UK and EU protects.
The value of the net is in its content. There is no value created by Phorm.
Rather than contribute great content, Phorm have a business plan which pilfers that content in its entirety.
That's not creating value, that's stealing value. Its commercial copyright theft, and it is criminal according to the Copyright Act.
So privacy? Communications integrity? Copyright? It would be illegal to switch Phorm on. Which reminds me, I must write again to the authorities about events in 2006/7. I haven't done that for ooh, at least 18 hrs.
And I've got 200 envelopes, a wad of A4, 5 ink cartridges and 60 first class stamps to get through... before I go back to get some more...
Pete.
