IF I were them right now, I would be up in arms about this. No organzation like the RIAA or the austurailian equvilant of that has the right to use any leagal system or an internet provider to jusify their own existance.

Im Sorry aussies are so lax with lett laws pass like this..

not to mention if they executed all of the pirates that would be over 50% of the population

evil has won all over the world. i thought that 2009 will be a great year. but this new law is proving to be a real downer, to everyone. this same law is being passed in Sweden, which is where the hugely popular torrent downloading site thepiratebay is hosted. this means that as of april 09 (that's when the law comes into affect in sweden), there will be over 5 million criminals in sweden, because of this new law. thats more than 50% of their population. it is a dark day indeed.

I live in New Zealand.

If it wasn't for this site I wouldn't have known about this new law.

I'd rather live in China.

I have recently returned to NZ after 20 years overseas and I am sorry to say that what I find is a cuntry run by control freaks and busybodies. They talk about de-regulation but that is only for businesses. The people are monitored with Orwellian efficiency. It’s no surprise the multinations felt NZ would be the easiest touch when it came to persuading the government to further monitor its people.

I live in New Zealand and I can’t beleive this is happening.

This is a useless law which will just put ISP’s into bankruptcy.

This is all because of a boring NZ made film called “Sione’s Wedding” which was such a boring and crappy movie.

Just because it got DVDRip’d and posted on torrent sites they got less revenue.

Welcome to the real world NZ Government, how do America handle Piracy.

New Zealand should just stop making boring NZ films and let the US make them.

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. I sitll can’t believe this. I hope ISP’s fight to reject this law.

This is also disgusting as it interfere’s with the Human Right’s.
Sneaking up on customers history and looking at what they look at. That is so uncomfortable just like China’s Internet but instead with Tibet stuff.

Feel for you, NZ’ers, but it’s gonna be a whole lot worse here in Aus. BTW: these laws are not inspired by the communist left, but by the neo-fascist far right. M’kay?

Stop supporting them by calling it “3 strikes and you’re out” – its really “3 accusations and you’re out”. Remember the new thinking – guilty until proven innocent.

[...] Segundo a Billboard, grande parte do Copyright (New Technologies) Amendment Act de 2008 deverá entrar já em vigor a 31 de Outubro. No entanto, devido à pressão dos operadores de telecomunicações que se manifestaram contra a resposta gradual, o governo decidiu atrasar a entrada em vigor das medidas previstas pela secção em questão para o final de Fevereiro. Mas os ISPs neo-zelandeses esperam chegar a acordo com os representantes da indústria de entretenimento de modo a conseguir um código de conduta, de acordo com a edição neo-zelandesa da Stuff (via Torrent Freak).

In new zealand we have something called parliamentary supremacy which means that means an act of parliament can’t be taken to court and must be carried out no matter what it says.

@79, that’s spot on. I myself find Rapidshare far more productive than torrents. Slingshot (a NZ ISP) has been throttling torrents for some time anyway.
