www.stuff.co.nz/4852936a28.htmlThere more out there to read, but basically it means if you are accused (x 3) by a member of the public you're internet access will be terminated permanently. What about business owners? How will they determine it's not a malicious accussation without any merit?

It's ridiculous. It's a law that infringes democratic and principles of justice.

The arts, particularly musicians had a sympathetic ear with Helen in charge. During Labours reign, our copyright laws went from the most liberal in the developed word, to the most idiotic. When Labour introduced new copyright legislation a few years back, they banned format swapping. This effectively made copying CD's to your iPod illegal. When this was pointed out to them, the objectors were called scare mongers, and told not to be ridiculous. The legislation was introduced without any changes and so, as the law is currently written, personal media players are encouraging illegal activity. The ISP law is equally ridiculous. Thankfully the Nat's could see that and asked that it be rewritten. With a bit of luck other Labour stuff ups with the copyright laws will also get a reworking. I remember Dave Dobbyn during the early days of the debate, equating sharing music to photocopying comics and handing them out for free. I disagree. I see it as the same as letting other people read your comic for free. In a music sense.. this is now against the law.  |
