“It may be argued”, but it shouldnt be.

And it’s beyond any doubt game over if a Web Site carries the Bohm-FIPR-ORG “garlic clove” text we cite above.

Wibbi Ho Moffiss were less protective of these intrusive money-grubbing publicity-selling lowlifes and more protective of generally law-abiding taxpayers with a healthy amount to hide.

(From http://cryptome.org/ho-phorm.htm)

15. A question may also arise as to whether a targeted online advertising
provider has reasonable grounds for believing the host or publisher of a web
page consents to the interception for the purposes of section 3(1)(b). It
may be argued that section 3(1)(b) is satisfied in such a case because the
host or publisher who makes a web page available for download from a server
impliedly consents to those pages being downloaded.

Wibbi they said

It’s a fair cop guvnor. We appreciate it’s none of our damn business whether the name given as admin is the same as the peson in charge of the actual site. We quite understad that under RIPA it’s for us to determine we have permission both from the reader and the web content provider to intercept their communication. And we can now start to see that’s nigh on impossible to achieve, and therefore that our business model is screwed under present laws. Thank you for helping draw our attention to this. We resolve not to cause you any further aggravation.
