Thanks!

Your best bet is probably referring the Police to the
legislation referenced by FIPR, and perhaps also drawing their attention to the opinion of FIPR.
FIPR concluded that there was;
- interception of communications, an offence contrary to section 1 of the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000
- fraud, an offence contrary to section 1 of the Fraud Act 2006
- unlawful processing of sensitive personal data, contrary to the Data Protection Act 1998
You could also mention the criminal liability under paragraph 107 and 110 of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 (given that BT Directors must have been aware they were copying material marked with copyright by owners who have the *exclusive right* to distribute copies).
To quote "UK Intellectual Property Office";
"Copyright applies to computing and the internet in the same way as material in other media. For example, any photographs you place on the internet will be protected in the same way as other artistic works; any original written work will be protected as a literary work, and so on."
Is this IPCC you're in dialog with, or the Police?
Why wouldn't Emma Sandersons TV confession stand up in court? What could be a more flagrant admission? Seems Police are absolutely determined to ignore this if they possibly can, and we mustn't let them.
PS Sorry Alexander. This is your turf
You can add something too I bet. Computer Misuse Act etc.
