Section 1b of the Act defines “trespass to goods” as ” wrongful interference of goods”. (TA 1977) To this author’s knowledge there is presently no case law in the UK with regards to altering the behaviour of a computer without the consent of the owner. However, the issue of Cyber-Trespass is a debate which has grown over recent years with the biggest break throughs being in the US."
And that is in reference to Phorm, not STM.

I am not, for very obvious legal and strategic reasons, going to lay out chapter and verse any actual authorities in law. They will become clear after judgement. Whilst it's true that the tiny snippet of law you produced has not
in itself been put to civil test it has great relevance when taken with other legal authorities. One must always address legal authority in combination applicable to a particular case - and I shall not expose my position in that regard to anyone until closing submissions in court. Apologies, but you must surely understand precisely why.

Ben, PHORM is only one aspect of DPI, and DPI is only one aspect of data interception. Virgin must intercept data to throttle. Incidentally, Virgin had and were playing about with PHORM during the period to which my dispute relates.
