Excellent idea. How about we claim that the department of internal affairs (who are probably the ones that monitor it) have been involved in file sharing or downloading copyrighted material? They'll get the chop, then watch them bleat. I hope the whole thing blows up in their face big time. It wouldn't take much of an effort to make this happen.

Si compartes en Internet, eres culpable…

A finales de Febrero, en Nueva Zelanda, se pondrá en marcha la sección 92 del Acta de Reforma del Copyright, medida que sugiere que cualquier persona acusada de compartir archivos por internet será considerada culpable automáticamente y se le desco…

[...] Nu åker vi bort till Nya Zeeland där dom tagit ännu ett kliv mot idiotism. Där är det planerat att man nästa månad införa “Section 92 of the Copyright Amendment Act”, vilket innebär att misstänka fildelare är skyldiga tills man bevisat motsatsen. Staffet som följer är att dom tar ens internetuppkoppning. För att roas mer av denna nyhet så kan du kika in här. [...]

The sad irony about this law is that it was passed by a Labour govt which seems to have believed it was protecting the rights of artists (after all, the front-person for the policy was Judith Tizard, who has done a huge amount to promote NZ art). But the law was shaped by the MPAA & RIAA's local lobby groups, and similar industry lobbies (rather than groups who represent actual artists). Tizard et al seemed oblivious to the distinction.

Local ISPs and net commentators almost universally condemned the law, and are still doing so. But in the mainstream media the issue has generally been framed as one of protecting artists from pirates, which is why I"m so glad Creative Freedom have now launched their campaign (this week they're starting to make waves in newspapers and on TV news).

But Mark R. – are you kidding? Yes, Labour deserved to lose votes over this (and may have done so – after all, Tizard lost her seat!). But now we have a right-wing govt which is even more supportive of corporate property 'rights'. I hope I'm wrong, but I fear it'll be even harder to change this law, under the new National-ACT govt. Sigh…

How many people burn files though, as opposed to HD or portable players, which do not carry the added "levy".

This is a legacy of the bl**dy Labour government who lost the recent election. This is one of their many arrogant and stupid ideas which cost them the election

[...] P2P: Schuldig per Vermutung Aus Neuseeland kommen beunruhigende Nachrichten: Im Schatten der US-Copyright-Kolonialismus wird dort ein Gesetz zur Verabschiedung vorbereitet, das zugunsten der Verlagsindustrie mit den Grundsätzen des Rechtsstaats bricht. Demnach soll dort ein Internetnutzer bereits nach dem Vorwurf des Filesharings mit Internetsperre bestraft werden. Das öffnet natürlich dem Missbrauch Tür und Tor, und bürdet dem Bürger Beweispflicht und Gerichtskosten auf. Bodenlos, nicht wahr? Entsprechend sind sowohl die dortigen Internetprovider als auch die Musiker schwer dagegen, nur die Verlagsvertreter sind begeistert. (via torrentfreak) [...]
