Last night I just watched a well known film...

... at the end, there was a short TV Interview, which is very relevant here; anyone who's seen the film will probably see the resemblence with Mr Ertugrul's attitude:

Interviewer "So, what about children? Kids all across the Planet can Log-on and witness live murder!"

Producer "Yes, sure they can! If they have a Credit Card. Look [name removed]... We as Entertainers cannot tailor make everything we do for children. It's the Parents responsibility to monitor what kids watch."

Interviewer "That's a cop-out [name removed], and you know it! You have to take some responsibility."

Producer "[name removed], I'm not forcing anyone to Log-on and tune in. I create Shows people like to watch. I didn't create the demand. People like to watch violence. They always have. Probably always will."


To me this is a great representation of the arrogance involved with implementing Phorm, and the entire BT Trial Fiasco.

@All involved with Phorm and Webwise, can you see the connection? Are you shocked by it? Do you not understand that what you intend to do is perfectly in tune with the above? Do you not realise that this is how you are perceived by the General Public?

Just because there is a demand for advertising, does not mean that we will accept any means to deliver. Every Click, every URL, every Blog are part of our lives. And we choose to commit part of our life to the Net, to enrich our own lives and that of others; and this is not licence to use for your personal gain.
