I agree and disagree, weighting more towards disagreeing.
They are selling a product which scraps copyright content and analyses it in order to make a commercial profit for themselves.
They are using my bandwidth by disguising themselves as a real visitor.
Scrappers are routinely banned from my sites.
They are looking at the sites you look at plus, as a minimum, 9 other sites and PPC ads related to the same search term - 9+ times more snooping than Phorm is doing.
The big negative, is that it does not maintain a database of good/bad sites.
The only plus I can think of is that currently the script is not reporting back to mama.
How many of the above do you rank as redeeming factors?
