Re: NZ Copyright law matter
I must be pessimistic because i just see an opportunity for big business to encroach on more of our freedoms as such as they are via act and US free trade deal that´s in the wind. maybe we should go the way of of the Chinese but then we be a pariah to the rest of the world for infringing on copyright law. Still we´d have THE ONLY free trade deal with the a VERY large country (namely China). On Sun, 03 May 2009 15:34:55 David Lowe wrote: I guess that's democracy at work?

(I don't care to be ridden by morons, thank you! :) Any comments? yeah sure. 1. The originally proposed code of practice for ISP's gave plenty of prootection for consumers and did not amount to guilt without proof. 2. The media companies wanted something tougher than the proposed code. 3. the legislation that the code was under has been scrapped to be replaced by something else 4. The current government is pro business, including the multimedia conglomerates who do want automatic takedown and guilt upon accusation. 5. Conclusion: we will end up with something worse than the code that wass proposed by the ISP's.
