not just questions Florence, you need to anticipate potential misleading answers and be ready to counter them realtime with the real facts as known so far, be ready for it and dont get taken offguard.

I hadn't mentioned it but I did receive an email from a prominent legal expert (whom we all admire) requesting permission to use my section on Copyright, Designs and Patents Act for an upcoming ISPA Legal Forum as he considered it work original to me. I didn't think it was really something most people would be interested in which is why I never mentioned it here, but I felt it gives a little more weight to the email which is why I did mention it there.

I thought you had to be a BT customer to sign up to the BT forums. Am I wrong?

Not sure if you have to be a BT customer or not - but worth a try.

If I remember rightly, it asks for your BT account number, but you can elect to 'provide this later'.

you know better than that Alexander,

your paper is the only one that did cover the copyright angle OC.

although not the exact user datastream auto copyright i had in mind...

its a shame the "mear conduit" didnt pan out as really significant.

and i still think the named executive on an injunction has legs, but thats still flapping in the wind ATM if we cant find out the best/cheapest options to make that happen... and move it forward.

OK I will admit it, I didn't want to be seen to be "blowing my own trumpet" given Kent's comment about me only being involved for self promotion. Of course I am very proud and excited to know people are taking my work seriously and that it is being used for something other than an academic grade.

http://tobymeres.net/ is broken again, just so everyone knows. I have PM'd Jamie but given his current situation people shouldn't expect it to be fixed in a hurry.

OF1975 · 05-05-2008, 20:42

I had issues trying to sign up. Maybe due to me using safari. Oh well am sure there are many there trying to take the fight to BT

That is really good news for Alexander plus a worthy reward for all his hard work.

One reason why I am taking over my mothers portfolio with her BT shares she is not able to get AGMs anymore and apparently just giving her votes to the chairman to cast for her.

well that ends this year I will take total charge of them for her and awkward questions will result in my aquesition. Maybe we should start a small investers forum for BT shareholders to get smaller holders into a larger fighting group.

Interesting since I have a BT line now can I sign up and upset the applecart.

Bobcat · 05-05-2008, 21:20

Ever since I had a post censored (for complaining not swearing) on the BT Beta Forums I have had great difficulty in signing in. I've already had to apply for a new password once and am now applying for another as I'm locked out again. This is a great nuisance as it means I can't even sign in to my phone account and as I (stupidly) went for paperless bills signing in is the only way I can do business. Maybe I should follow my "kids" example and only use a mobile?

mark777 · 05-05-2008, 21:25

It's my understanding that the BT forum is being heavily moderated to confine discussion of Phorm/Webwise to one thread.

I would have thought it would be quite legitimate for a concerned shareholder to canvas opinion in other threads about the issue. Even to give some of the basic facts so that any replies can be informed.

Of course, if BT moderators decided to censor such an exercise, that in itself would be a serious issue to raise at the AGM.

Another reason why many block adverts on Internet this quote was taken from ISPr.

Quote:

To clarify, it wasnt the site that was causing the problem, it was an infected ad, had this issue twice in 10 days with one site I visit daily.(Not ISPR)

So why do we want to trust our internet connection to adverts placed by people with history of rootkits...

this site being hacked again smacks a lot of insider and yes Kent is my number 1 suspect considering it is the only videos of the meeeting and phorm failed to release theirs. I hope the hosting company checks logs and starts to report this to authorities people like them have to learn we will not take this type of ebullying...

I have downloaded all the videos so if anyone wants a copy I can upload and send links over pm
