Now this bit here - "Unlike Rianz, the New Zealand Federation Against Copyright Theft (NZfact), which is owned by the United States Motion Picture Association and represents movie studios, has decided against asking internet providers to issue infringement notices to customers on behalf of its members." Does that mean that people who are so inclined can still download movies?	tingle (6539)
1270640	2012-04-17 22:50:00	Is a Thrid a cross between a Thrip and an Aphid? :D	KarameaDave (15222)
1270641	2012-04-17 22:57:00	That is because of the $25 fee they must pay internet providers to issue each notice. There is an additional $200 fee to bring a case before the tribunal. ... NZfact chief executive Tony Eaton said they should be done away with. Hmmm, "costs too much, we should be able to get it for free ..." - where have I heard that before ... :lol:	fred_fish (15241)
1270642	2012-04-17 23:22:00	Ironic really, here we have had the ISPs like Telecom with their Go Large a while back promising "all the internet you can get", the Government rolling out fibre, again to get all the goodies like movies etc, then Orcon.... "Orcon CEO Scott Bartlett says the new Orcon Genius data plans are designed to make it easier and more affordable for Kiwis to access the growing range of exciting online content available to consumers.

1270643	2012-04-18 00:04:00	Is a Thrid a cross between a Thrip and an Aphid? :D Oops, you caught me. Actually, a Thrid could be a juvenile Trifid, in which case maybe I've accidentally created a movie theme. But please, keep Tom Cruise the hell out of it. Amazing isn't it. They accuse people of costing them tens of thousands, and fine them tens of thousands when they can, but won't cough up the few hundred it takes to take some action to affirm their 'rights' and to set an example. Methinks all the figures they've thrown around about the costs of piracy are super overhyped BS, and they know the reality that few of the people who DL their content are lost customers, and the reality that many ultimately buy the content they like is an advantage of 'piracy'.

1270644	2012-04-18 00:39:00	TelstraClear spokesman Gary Bowering said it issued a third and final "enforcement" notice to a customer on Thursday for allegedly pirating music, after being instructed to do so by the Recording Industry Association of New Zealand. Wait what? Charged with piracy by the people who asked him to pirate? What is this madness!!!	The Error Guy (14052)

Now this bit here - "Unlike Rianz, the New Zealand Federation Against Copyright Theft (NZfact), which is owned by the United States Motion Picture Association and represents movie studios, has decided against asking internet providers to issue infringement notices to customers on behalf of its members." Does that mean that people who are so inclined can still download movies? Most likely not. I bet they are hoping the Gov buckles and drop the fee from $25 down to $2 and then you'll see a flood from both movie and record companies. Remember the carrot of a FTA with the US is still being held out in front of the NZ gov..	paulw (1826)

1270647	2012-04-18 03:31:00	I thought the thrid's were attacking, almost had a heart attack. I think they need the charge to protect the ISP's from the content providers, otherwise there could potentially be a flood of infringement notices the ISPs have to deal with at their own cost. This way it's more likely they will make sure of the infringement before issuing any notices and less likely they will try and get someone fined because their teenager downloaded a $2 song that noone was ever going to buy.	dugimodo (138)
