I firmly believe that even with consent, Phorm will be illegal under RIPA, and CD&P, because it doesn't get the consent of the "other" party in the transmission. This is my view, IANAL, and it is in line with FIPRs view.

Think you'll have to find a bit more specific complaint to hang a legal case on.
