So people will gradually become accepting of Phorm, and realise it isn't as nasty as some make out. Like it or not, the majority of people trust the likes of BT and Virgin (not sure about Carphone Wharehouse !) so once presented with the facts, and not some of the hysterical jibbering that the anti-Phormers are postulating, they will be happy with it.
Of course Phorm are walking a tightrope, but as long as they keep their balance they will be fine.
What a lot of bull

If Bt had used good managment over the years when they had no competition instead of patting each other on the bakx and paying themselves larger pay rises we wouldnt be where we are now.

BT are still in the fat cat syndrome any company that gives a pay rise in one year of £196,000 is in need of a large shake up and a no confidance vote from shareholders.

The tightrope you mention has already been swinging since the law has already been broken and there is no way that this phorm in its present phorm can be used legally, avoiding going to court by packing half truths and not allowing anyone to actually see the programs will not alter this since it cannot be legal until those people wronged in the stealth trials have been heard in court.

well I ma off to feed the family in the knowledge I am phorm free and will stay free from internet interception, cookie forging, website hijacking and copyright invaision to add to the privacy and human rights to not be invaided by adverts as you surf...
