What taught us the past, controlling the population overly much only leads to unrest.

@28 They would never bring themselves to trial. If they found an IP address linked to themselves, they would just discard it.

It wouldn’t surprise me one bit if the media industries were seeding and leaking competitors works regularly as one small part of their corporate espionage program.

Utterly pointless exercise by the copyrighters. You can silence some of us, but you will never silence us all!

Not only is this unfair and unreasonable, it’s also stupid. Have New Zealand’s politicians forgotten about free wi-fi? They have it at every Starbucks, on every block.

I don’t care if the only person I’ve ever seen from New Zealand was in a porn video. If this bill passes, I’m flying to NZ to protest.

Any ideas on new isp provider as telecom has cancelled there unlimited internet plan? At least no one in this country has gone to court for downloading. Only providing content in a commercial setting, that idiot.

When a “cheap” new DVD costs $40 nz dollars and is released months after it has been available to the rest of the world, it seems stupid not to download.

unfornuatley most nz’ers are dumb enough to pay that price, (except for those who dl of course)

seeing that the average price for internet in nz is around $40-$50 per month, you would be a fool to buy the DVD, when u can download as many as you want for areound $50 a month.

the law will probably be passed. it is new zealand, and all the government seems to do is financially screw its citizens. (eg raise GST) it is impossible to get ahead, cant wait to leave when i get the chance.
