Iv'e been looking around and it appears that our (NZ's) new government are going a little too far. A new law is being released on February 28th 2009! called the "Guilt Apon Accusation Law S92a".

This law involves our internet. What it means is, if this passes, websites and even internet conections will be terminated if a site contains things such as free mp3's (which they now consider 'illegal') or if they catch someone downloading anything without paying (unless it's legal freeware).

Put in different wording, it means If this law goes through they can pull mythkiwi.com, stingerstudios.co.cc (or .webs.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!

And as you would guess, the internet community is going nuts! The're outraged just like me and everyone else I know!

So please, PLEASE sign this petition against law S92a!

Oh and by the way, if this hasnt yet made you think to sign, theres also something about YouTube now doing everything they can to block people downloading vids. That means now u will have to pay $$$ if u want to download vids and can can only be done on selected vids. Did that change your mind? If so click here.

So many people tut and say "Someone should do something", but few people step foward and say "...and that someone is me!" (Terry Pratchett).
