Three-Strikes Copyright Law In NZ Halves Infringement

Posted by timothy on Sunday July 22, 2012 @10:43AM from the maybe-sneakernets-have-heated-up dept.

Bismillah writes "The 'Skynet' copyright act has been in effect for six months in New Zealand and rights holders reckon it halved the number of infringements in the first month. Even so, they're not happy and say over forty per cent of Kiwis continue to infringe online. The fix? Rightsholders want the current NZ$25 infringement notice processing fee payable to ISPs to be dropped to just a few dollars or even pennies, so that they can send out thousands of notices a month. ISPs want the fee to increase four times instead, to cover their costs. Unfortunately, the submissions for the review of the infringement notice fees are kept secret by the government."

Have you tried "knocking this fasco-capitalist shit off before the revolution comes and lines you all up against the wall"?
'cuz that's what's gonna happen if you don't. Brick wall. Machine gun. Get the picture?
A fitting end to the MAFIAA, I think.
