Default Channel 4 RED DOT returns

To whom it may concern, the Channel 4 RED DOT, which has been absent for
several months has returned again in the past 24 hours.

There is a complaint form entitled "C4 RED DOT" on the front of
http://LOGOFREETV.org/.



C4 RED DOT case document:
http://logofreetv.org/redirect.asp?i=3179

BSKYB proposal document:
http://logofreetv.org/redirect.asp?i=3182



Ways to disable the RED DOT:
http://forum.logofreetv.org/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=162



However, from a regulatory view point, it is my personal opinion that
this unsolicited advertising (where the third party is notified
beforehand), is a breach of the Computer Misuse Act 1990.

In my view, the anti-SPAM laws may be used to prevent this RED DOT from
appearing, and the RED DOT should be treated in the same way as other
personal privacy matters. Citizens should have to opt-in, should have
the right of opt-out, and "no" means "no", not ask me again in 10
minutes.

I also think it is highly irresponsible of C4 to "advertise" premium
pay-to-use Interactive Services that are aimed at persons aged 16 and
over, when access to the TV within households at this time of day is by
persons of all ages and no-opt out has been provided.


Anyway, for those viewers who care, it is time to complain again to get
this eyesore removed.

Even on E4 they enable/disable it from time to time, without any kind of
pattern, although whenever I've seen Countdown during this time they've always
had the "NEWGAME" logo.

I'm surprised we've not had endless red-dots for Shattered, unless they've
realised that no-one cares about it.

Can't C4/E4 employ anyone who *isn't* a dumbass?

I note that that uncivil comment comes from someone who's web site
perported him to be a BBC employee / contractor. I would wish Auntie's
employees and contractors behaved slightly more pleasantly to other
people.

Kilroy was "pulled" for off-air comments. May I politely suggest that
James reflects on this and would instead try and bring out that best in
others.

If people have something to say, let them say it please.
