Any legal problem with that?
Just take a moment for anyone with website links set up to Phorm, to change them from phorm dot com to the sponsored link.

The problem with that is that Phorm will not be paying on a per click basis, but via a periodoc fixed fee. Google has more than one way of charging, loads in fact. So you'll probably be wasting your time, and no doubt letting Google know what you're up to. But if you're happy to have them invading your privacy......
