Phorm admits 'over zealous' editing of Wikipedia article

OFCOM might use OIX?

"According to that wiki article, it says the BBC, ft.com, The Guardian, iVillage, Universal McCann, Myspace, MGM OMD and Unanimis had initially expressed an interest about Phorm."

Universal McCann says on its website that OFCOM is its customer

Information Commissioner: Phorm must be opt-in only

QC

"Can we not get the name and the advice of the "QC" whom Phorm employed under a Freedom of Information Act request from the ICO."

The QC is a phigment of the imagination, I suspect.

But in any case, it's what the ISPs would be doing that have the RIPA, copyright, confidentiality, DPA implications. And nobody knows yet how that part of it will really work - they are all making it up as they go along. Until they have an exact, settled system specification, they can't get an opinion from any lawyer, QC or otherwise.

It's not just a material change, it's an unfair contract term. That's unenforceable in a consumer contract under the Unfair Contract Terms Act.

Public meeting

"And for the record - yet again - this event is being organised by 80/20 Thinking, not Phorm."

The trouble is that 80/20 Thinking has now become identified with Phorm - you have lost the appearance of independence.

And you are jauntily promoting this meeting as some sort of gladiatoral contest between Phorm and Richard Clayton, not a measured consultation exercise. Your work on this issue should not be presented as entertainment - a lot of people take the issue of interception very seriously. You should be looking for the objective truth.
