I've had broadly the same letter. Shriti Vadera doesn't acknowledge the content creators rights, or the service side consent for interception. Which is surprising for the department for Business Enterprise Regulatory Reform, who you'd expect to comprehend the economic impact of parasites like Phorm on legitimate content creators and eCommerce.
I also had a letter from Patricia Hewitt (BT non exec director and MP) repeating almost verbatim Emma Sanderson's drivvel about extensive legal advice. (I wrote back, telling Ms Hewitt I thought it would be entertaining to read that advice if only BT would publish it, given what I've read of the ICO documentation, and Home Office advice).
Its getting more and more obvious to me with every new revelation the government are desperately trying to white wash this criminal shambles, presumably to protect someone senior in Labour, or a big donor, or some government department from deep embarrassment. The bit I can't work out is why the opposition parties aren't ripping them to shreds over this. Don Foster in particular has been very quiet lately.
July will be a very interesting month I'm sure.
