“The New Zealand Internet Blackout protests against the Guilt Upon
Accusation law ‘Section 92A’ that calls for internet disconnection based
on accusations of copyright infringement without a trial and without
any evidence held up to court scrutiny. This is due to come into effect
on February 28th unless immediate action is taken by the National
Party.” Let’s hope not only that something is done about this in New
Zealand but that this madness does not spread!!
STOP PRESS!! “3:18pm 23rd February 2009 – In a press conference today
John Key announced that Section 92A would be delayed until March 27th.
There is a lot of work ahead but I hope everyone involved takes some
time out to celebrate this victory. This shows how modern online
movements and efforts can result in real world change. We couldn’t have
done it without you — we’ve been amazed and humbled by your support.
Thanks everyone!!”
