Seems NebuAd is in more trouble since they are starting class actions against them wonder if BT will be next it ccustomers using phorm visit websites that are already dealing with NebuAd.

This was taken from another forum with the OP permission.

NebuAd, the controversial company that was trying to sell deep-packet inspection technology as a means of delivering more relevant ads, has already had most of the life sucked out of it. Now, a class action lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in San Francisco today, could put the final nail in the coffin...

I'm not particularly impressed with the last paragraph.

The suit can be found here.
 
l wish the same sort of thing would happen here, tho heres an interesting thought.. aren't phorm offices based in the US? tho they are not technically trying to run their project along with US ISPs wouldn't they technically be running something the US deemed illegal? maybe they are not running it on US soil yet they are running the business from there which brings up the question "if NebuAd is illegal, then shouldn't running a company that does the same thing overseas be just as against the law?"

I've also been wondering if it might be a good idea to contemplate making or see if there is a petition already on the government website regarding this.. tho voting should not just be by UK webmasters as it isnt just an issue we face its webmasters as a whole that face the copyright infringements on a global scale.
