Your online freedom is shrinking

Section 92 of the Copyright Amendment Act assumes Guilt Upon Accusation and forces the termination of internet connections and websites without evidence, without a fair trial, and without punishment for any false accusations of copyright infringement. We should speak out against injustices like Guilt Upon Accusation being done in the name of artists and protecting creativity.

 Mythkiwi is all about sharing ideas about open source software and (almost) never suggests to infringe any copyright laws or do anything else illegal, but for examples sake you did need a copy of windows for some reason, maybe just to remind yourself what a communist world would look like or what life would be like in Mt Eden Prison we do agree with your freedom to make the choice to download it over a P2P network.  That is your right as a kiwi to make your own dam decision of how you act on the internet we don't need or want our friendly lawmakers in the beehive making those decisions for us. 

If this law goes through they can pull mythkiwi.com (or any other NZ site) off the net simply under the suspicion of copyright infringement. You aren't even safe at home, they can block your precious broadband connection under suspicion that you grabbed an mp3 without paying.  Way to go politicians, thats exactly what we want.

New Zealand's new Copyright Law presumes 'Guilt Upon Accusation' and will Cut Off Internet Connections without a trial. CreativeFreedom.org.nz is against this unjust law - help us
