| 735970 | 2009-01-14 10:34:00 | What happens if i grab a rare collection of mp3s for example from a limited release vinyl 1976 of a non popular artist and thankfully with the generosity of some person in alaska or wherever decides to share it? Right, so disconnecting my connection will instantly triple New Zealand cd sales into the thousands.... :eek: |

| 735971 | 2009-01-15 23:40:00 | New Zealand Libraries are now asking for Section 92 to be repealed in rather strong language, and they seem to agree that this law presumes guilt upon accusation: A letter was sent yesterday on behalf of LIANZA to the Minister for Communications and Information Technology, expressing LIANZA's concerns about: (1) the extremely broad definition of internet service provider (it includes any person or organisation which has a website) (2) the implication that ISPs will be required to act on accusations of illegal access of copyright materials by users (thereby reversing the legal principle that a person or organisation is deemed innocent until proved guilty) (3) the provisions of section 92A, requiring ISPs to terminate the account of a repeat infringer (which, if the repeat infringer is a user illegally accessing or downloading in-copyright materials on a library public-access computer, may result in the library, and possibly also the organisation (e.g. council, university, school, etc) to which the library is attached, to lose all Internet access). The letter strongly recommends that: (1) the definition of internet service provider be amended (2) section 92A be repealed prior to the date of its implementation (28 February 2009). source (mcgovernonline.blogspot.com) |
