Just because BT/Virgin/CPWH believes its anonymous doesnt make it so and just because they believe it complies with RIPA doesnt make it so. Its up to a court to decide and I hope it gets tested in court really soon.
Correct me if I am wrong but didnt the Foundation for Information Policy Research, in their letter to the Information Commissioner Office ,argue that consumer consent was key and that a simple change to Terms and Conditions wouldnt be enough to comply with RIPA? Again would need to be something tested in court I reckon.
