http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7438578.stmBT should face prosecution for its "illegal" trials of a controversial ad-serving technology, a leading computer security researcher has said.
I agree that if my isp started selling mysoul to the advertising devil i would be mighty piffed. At the end of the day these folks are storing your surfing habbits. What they are doing in my eyes, and many others is completely illegal. Id also want to know if i was a BT customer if i was apart of the testing stage, because they surley must of rooted through hours of sufing habbits to get this right. ISP's really need to realise that they are giving a rod for their own back using software like this. If they can inspect every packet for to give you advertising the media folks are going to want to know why they cant check for certain files being shared. Plunging them into the legal battle of file sharing and supporting file sharing. Why cant the directors of such companies like BT realise with this running they have kissed goodbye to saying they dont know what its users are doing on its networks. I actaully wonder how long it will be before thier is a R.I.A.A versus ISP copywite breach claim, i imagine it wont be very long
