Why not accuse the New Zealand pols that think this is such a good idea of behavior inexcusable enough to warrant immediate removal from office? After all, if I say they did it then it's automatically true, right? |

The New Zealand government is guilty of piracy by association, because some of their citizens are pirates. |

Re: Time to have some fun.
i like that idea, shouldn't be that hard to figure out IP addresses that are used by NZ government. better yet, you probably could convince any politician that 127.0.0.0/8 should be banned. if you can get a real response from the idiot politicians, use a couple IP in the header of the email that they send back. |

| Did TaylorTroll move to NZ?
Some here might remember Taylor Troll. He would pop in during any discussion of copyright infringement allegations. The mere allegation that someone infringed copyright led him to conclude that the person should be stuck in jail for a long time. He was immune to arguments about due process and that they might be falsely accused.
Now it seems that people with minds similar to his, are writing laws in New Zealand. Who needs proof? Just the mere allegation of copyright infringement is enough to get you kicked offline with no recourse.
This law is ridiculously easy to abuse. Did you say something on your blog that I don't like? I'll just call your ISP and accuse you of copyright infringement. Bam! You're offline. Chances are, you won't even know who reported you so you can't retaliate. And even if I'm found out, there's no penalty for false reporting. A small group of like-minded individuals could force offline anyone who disagrees with them or opposes them. Scary, indeed!

| Most idiotic Gv(NZ)t move of 2009 so far!
Sometimes the government's response to a "problem" is a greater crime than the one they are seeking to correct. Once one suspends or eradicates, "due process" and "innocent until found guilty" you have an executive arm which is no longer democratic, or deserving of public support. |

This is just incredible. Don't lawmakers consult anyone but the RIAA before making absurd laws?
Just report every politician's personal line and wait for their kids to start whining. That'll get their attention. |

| Not just for corporations....
I really hope these bafoons realize that copyright content applies to more than just businesses with any kind of financial interest. I can create an image, copyright my work, put no value on it and start throwing my weight around like the big boys.
You know, of all things about CR that gets me, is that it has the appearance that BUSINESS thinks that it's a tool simply for them, written for them, and applies only to them. I wonder, just how many times, they have abused someone else' copyright property with just walking away and dismissing it.
Back to NZ,.. I just hope they understand what kind of a can of worms they are opening up here. Like others have said.. might as well just shut their internet down..
.. me thinks the world is losing its collective mind anymore. |
