Carlos the Jackal Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 What are your thoughts on this latest totalitarian style government policy? Section 92 of the Copyright Amendment Act assumes Guilt Upon Accusation and forces the termination of internet connections and websites without evidence, without a fair trial, and without punishment for any false accusations of copyright infringement. We should speak out against injustices like Guilt Upon Accusation being done in the name of artists and protecting creativity.

Pakage Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 The Government has stalled a proposed law to enforce copyright on the internet after a "web roots" protest that blacked out sites yesterday. Prime Minister John Key conceded that Section 92a of the Copyright Act could be "problematic", and suggested it could be thrown out. go you good thing. hackers rock. this is why the internet will never change. the people that really run the show cant be fucked with.

perceptualChaos Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Catalyst, I know you guys validate any infringement complaints against the IP logs but is that required in the law? I haven't read the original Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Known One Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Nothing specific is required in the law, this is literally all the law says... An Internet service provider must adopt and reasonably implement a policy that provides for termination, in appropriate circumstances, of the account with that Internet service provider of a repeat infringer. http://www.legislation.govt.nz/act/public/2008/0027/latest/DLM1122643.html "reasonably implement" suggests that validating the infringement notices against the IP logs we are required to have is required. That would be argued in court if it were not the case and the ISP would probably get stung. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Known One Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 On another note, some ISP's are introducing Policy which under this law will mean that they will not end up terminating any users at all (They literally won't accept ~99.9% of Infringement notices) My point is that there is a lot of undue hype over this law Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
