[...] No. Although there is a lot of talk about “three strikes” policies, no ISP has agreed (or was forced) to disconnect users after they receive their third warning. In New Zealand they came close to implementing a law that would require ISPs to do this, but this proposal was pulled. [...]

the moral of the story here is, before you agree to or sign anything, make sure you know what you are getting in to! if not, sure as hell, it will come back to bite you in the ass, real hard!! maybe she and other politicians will realise what these bastards are actually up to now!!

I’m a kiwi
@11 no sadly no pirate party, I would love to start one some day when I have the cash to fund it.

@13 no government isn’t corrupt, just one of our ministers is overtly dumb, believed RIANZ and all their propganda.

@Everyone
The real story about our Section92 law – which is the antipiracy law that got scrapped was that the RIAA for NZ -> RIANZ went after one of our ministers, she doesn’t entirely know much about the internet and she proposed this law. Nothing was said about the implications this law would create, but she believe their excuse “its about the protecting the copyrights of the artists” – the law didn’t exactly focus on Music downloads, (I suspect NZFACT – thats our MPAA in NZ had a say in it to leave it open field.)

When it went to parliment, it was discussed and passed, but in NZ, very few laws are ever implimented immediately theres usually a grace period of a 3-6months.

So when it became news that its gonna become law, that was when everyone realised what happened and the huge fight over it started.

Judith Tizzard stated that anyone who gets disconnected can go to a library to get the internet so its not really a big issue.

The implications outreached just people pirating music to almost everything, it made the ice real thin.

I believe she realizes now she basically got played by RIANZ. Shes kept a real low profile around the section92 (anti-piracy law) issue.

We may soon see that New-Zealanders are smarter than the French where this 3 strikes anti piracy law will be “discussed” in the parliament. Nice job Kiwis, hope you’ll be an example for us.

Remember, the government is likely corrupt; so they will have to bow to the copyright industry.

Your government is the most well funded and skilled adversary that you have. Remember this.

SO what do the people saying the NZ government (or simply “governments”) only listen to lobbying, only make decisions to please entities that donate money and do not care about votes?

Good decision and surely demonstrates that interest groups can influence the political decision makers without being major campaign contributors.

OK heres the irony the flight of the concords stuff was done by the bbc an english and american production, nobody in nz appears to have had any input into the tv program according to wikipeadia.

I have no artists from NZ on my cd rack, and since i dont know any NZ music artists im certainly not going to torrent it.

Does New Zealand have a cultural scene ? that it exports – the answer it appears is no.

the sooner governments realise that the proposals to police the internet in any form are a waste of time. also, that any proposal from the music and/or movie industry is not to the benefit of the artists involved but to the benefit of the companies, enabling ‘fat cats’ to remain as ‘fat cats’, doing little or nothing to maintain their exorbitant salaries whilst ripping off the public with well over priced commodities. move with the times RIAA etc, most people dont mind paying for good quality, reasonably priced music and movies.

Excellent news. Let’s hope that it won’t come back.
Now could also be a good time for the NZ ISP mentioned on Torrentfreak earlier to rethink their current practice of disconnecting accused users of copyright infringement.

FFS! “Guilty on accusation” should never have been considered in the first place.. what kind of free society would even consider a f##king law modeled after 1940′s Nazi Gestapo style policing in the first place.

someone in Kiwi parliment needs a good boot up the bum.

otherwise, congrats to the Kiwi’s.. for now anyway :)
