So, it can be done on that basis?

you might not get any good answers but id be interested in Spencer Kelly of Click! attending or at least getting some answers as put from the real AntiPhorm perspective on video.

why did he come across as a Phorm advocate in the shows for instance, does he really side with the Pro-Phorm stance, and if so what are his PERSONAL thoughts on our legal and moral points etc as put here?
Remember that BBC have an obligation to be balanced, and they know that the more scurrilous corporations are the ones that take that obligation the most seriously and are probably the most likely to be litigious. So when dealing with the strong and evil, they well be more neutral than when dealing with an ordinary vulnerable individual member of the public.

Posted a link to Phorm_Protest_Event

on the debian forums inviting people to "digg it" (mentioned NebuAd to get the US users interest). I would hope most debian users would be sympathetic

Dan Simmons was the person I communicated with with regards my appearance on Click (he contacted me). So by contacting him it should make it through to the Click team.

Yes it would be advisable to for him to follow the ICO complaints procedure first and then if that doesn't achieve anything he needs to write to his MP making it clear that he is doing so as required under Parliamentary Ombudsman regulations. If his MP is unable to get them to do anything he would then go straight to the Parliamentary Ombudsman for an official complaint.

However, given the EU Commission's stance on this earlier this week, there is no harm in contacting his MEP referencing the EU Commission statement asking them to now act on his behalf.

Incidentally this is why BT (and Virgin) customers must never never rely on Phorm's opt out.

If it does transpire that Phorm and BT (or Virgin) have ignored your decision to opt out ICO will do nothing at all.

ICO will be assured by BT (or Virgin) that it was a small scale issue (ie, only you were affected), nothing personal was disclosed (even though they processed your entire personal web traffic), and BT have received imaginary legal advice from the garden gnomes that says they are purer than driven snow.

ICO will accept that assurance, do no investigation, and your complaints will be dismissed.

You can't stay with a Phorming ISP. You have no regulatory protection.

i linked this one to the Digg rather than direct to see if it helps improve visability
http://current.com/items/88992107_ic...e_law_breaking

the other one put last night has had only 67 views and zero responses so far.
http://current.com/items/88990813_uk...16th_july_2008

a smaller, but non the less, just as informative gfx placed on all the NoDPI pages might be useful, as currentTV submitted News trys to take any gfx thats on the URL linked page and use it inside the CTV page.

Good job poppy.

I have contacted someone with regards to sponsoring the event, I don't know what sort of reaction i will get but said person is a millionaire and very much regarded as a public figure. I have spoken to him on a number of occasions in the past on other matters so hopefully he will want to help.

As an update and very positive news the nodpi donations link has so far raised £110 so thank you to everyone who has donated.

Steven,

you could make a very specific FOI request to the Information Commissioner, Richard Thomas.

I'd ask
- What attempts were made by ICO to obtain evidence/documentation from BT
- What evidence/documentation was requested by ICO, and disclosed by BT
- What evidence/documentation was requested by ICO, and declined by BT
- Which BT staff members were interviewed
- What was the record of those interviews
- What third party technical experts were interviewed
- What was the record of those interviews

This information requires little or no cost to report (so shouldn't fall foul of the expense limit). I think the answers to those questions would give you a great deal more evidence to support an EU complaint (because I expect they would demonstrate ICO did nothing to adequately investigate your complaint ).

Pete.
