what we know is Alexander couldnt do a video obviously, he may have took the campus video kit anyways and had someone run it, so there might be footage there.

there was apparently, some professional video footage aranged by Simon Davies and he said its unedited and will be put up asap, that might mean tonight if they really are unedited , depends on the format i suppose, and thats aside from the TV crews filming, we might see or not on C4 news sometime inthe next 3 days (that seems to be the turn around point for most news24 type footage unless it high profile...)

and i assume BBC TV video perhaps if they were there also...

I'm not sure what this document is, but it looks as though the Commissioner is saying that if the UK does not have a law that guarantees citizens' freedom from interception, the the UK government is in breach of EU law.

So if what "Andrew" at the Home Office is saying is true, then the government is breaking EU law.

So, either the Home Office has to admit that BT broke the law, or it has to admit that by failing to make BT's conduct illegal, the government had broken the law.

EDIT...Of course, huge thanks to Alexander. Stirling effort, that man. Above and beyond.
Sadly, then, we can't quote it as something the Commissioner definitely said?

This too is my understanding given Simon's comments and would be happy to receive any such video and re-encode it to place on my somewhat unused youtube page.

It'll be interesting to see how Phorm's share price reacts to tonight's events tomorrow morning (I notice it was unchanged today).

Alex & Clayton - Absolutely superb performance. Wonderful.

That AND the EU info tonight, we might be getting somewhere to stop this. It's soooo wrong. (Might be, might!)



For Alex: (_)>

For Clayton: (_)>

After reading the reply from Viviane Reding it certainly looks like we'd get more support from the European parliament than our own. I'm sure the European courts wouldn't have as much reluctance to get BT in the dock over the illegal 121 media and Phorm trials.

It's a pity this info didn't arrive before the meeting, as I'm sure that it has huge potential in defeating Phorm.

theres also the potential if there are any laptops etc and wireless connections going in the bars, we might see some chat surface here or elsewere soon...

so much for the live video stream request, i should have known it wouldnt happen.

after all you need a wirelessly connected laptop, a connected cam pointing in the right direction, and a free copy of VLC set in streaming server mode from the wizard menu, in the room.....

and pointing to a web server somewere or run your own on the laptop and have a few people re-stream it from their better connected end points, real rock science
Doh.

Doh.
I know Phorm may be treating us as Neanderthals living in the Stone Age, blinding us with pseudo techno-science, but shouldn't that be rocket?

Just posted back on the NG asking for the OPs source.
No reason to distrust, but can't hurt to verify.
