They did appear to swallow that without asking any questions, didn't they. Mind you, that seems to be the BBC norm these days. :(

It would be useful for their iplayer to see who uses what I suppose :eyebrow:

Rik

Though would it need an ISP tie-up, given the way Phorm works?

I'm sure the Beeb would link up with phorm to extract data from some ISP's if needed, despite what Phorm says it may of may not do >:(

hhhmmmmm - interesting quote:

"But what happened was it became very clear to us that there was no distinction in people's minds between adware - which is legitimate - and spyware"

right, so software that collects information on peeps surfing activities (ie spies on them) ISN'T a form of spyware?  :whistle:

If not,  I'm a little hispanic mouse with a very large and silly yellow hat  >:D

Rik

In his mind, there is, apparently, a difference. To the rest of us, however...  ::)

That difference being he can make some money out of it, so he has to attempt to legitimise it I suppose >:(
