Coss Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 NZ has joined the ranks of the Facists, the just removed Labour government enacted legislation that requires ISPs to ban users if they are accused of d'loading or sharing copyright material. Accused mind, not convicted, not proven accusation, only accused. Steven Fry has joined the cause. See http://creativefreedom.org.nz/blackout.html There is a strong movement in NZ and overseas to repeal this law. Join the black out, or like laws may become world wide. New Zealand's new Copyright Law presumes 'Guilt Upon Accusation' and will Cut Off Internet Connections without a trial. Join the black out protest against it!

Bangkoktraveler Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Does the copyright laws work the same way they do in Thailand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coss Posted February 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 No, in theory, if proven, you can get prosecuted, but now they just want to penalise, no proof, no fair. Coss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
