hi all,
A small update, Emma at BT no longer loves me.
After 2 nice messages which just repeat that BT have taken le le gal advice, and the system does not breach copyright.
I informed her that the advice I had been given was the opposite.
I have been advised today that a quick and easy solution once Webwise /Phorm is put into trial.
Issue an invoice for damages regarding copyright breach.
BT will not pay, at this point.
Re-issue the invoice giving a reasonable amount of time for payment, inform them, that non-payment will result in county court action.
BT will not pay.
Issue a summons for payment in the small claims court.
When BT are asked to enter a defence, they will more then likely pay up.
IF BT enter a defence the legal advice we hear so much about, but do not see would more then likely be asked for by the Judge.
Emma most kindly asked me my website details so it could be excluded, however I see a few £££ signs which would keep me in beer for many a long year, so I declined. Unfortunatly she will not write back to me.
Something I said maybe.?
The best advice I have been given, is as web masters, we have strong legal rights.
One tactic could be that even before any future tests are done, we can cost BT a lot of money and resources just by asking lots and lots of questions, and if possible attempt to tie up the legal department.
So Lots of questions, need asking, and lack of answers may strengthen a case at the small claims court in the future.

Hi
I should have said, the above advice was given to me over the phone by the solicitor I contacted last week regarding this matter through my union membership.
It is a summery of a conversation and I made rubbish notes.
