Um - because WGA (an utterly different thing altogether) was OK, then a system that intercepts all your internet browsing with incredible potential for abuse should be fine? That's a bit like saying, I've been eating apples for some time now so I think smoking will do me no harm.

Did anyone read the interview in The Register linked to in an earlier post? A reasonable case is put for not worrying about Phorm. It even seems to present some reasons why it might be good to accept it. I'm undecided.
Edit: Sorry, see link in post 2184.
