Whilst you have given permission for your e-mail address to be accessed it
seems interesting that such things as the Computer Misuse Act offences, and
aiding and abetting also exist.
Notwithstanding the breach of data protection principles involved, could the
ICO by their actions possibly be leaving themselves open to charges of
aiding and abetting the commission of a crime? Or is that only applicable
where knowledge and aforethought exist? White collar crime could be seen to
rise to a whole new scale!
Could it be possible for an individual to legitimately claim one of the
exemptions and carry out a survey of those persons on this list who are
subscribed to the alert service? Purely as a means of determining its
effectiveness of course! What DP implications would that raise?
