And now for something that doesn't make sense
To those New Zealanders who download films, music and television from the internet: beware – you could be getting a note in the mail. A new law was passed 111 votes to 11 in Parliament this morning and as a result, copyright holders can now complain about specific users downloading their material. Three warnings and it’s off to a tribunal, where you can be fined up to $15,000 – unless you can prove yourself innocent. But this is just horrible. Laws holding people guilty until they can prove themselves innocent are the first sign that a country is turning into North Korea. The laws are just stupid and I will continue downloading pirated music and movies because it's a lot cheaper and besides, once you become famous, the public owns you for life. Just because Limewire was shut down last year by those bullies working for the RIAA doesn't mean you can't get your fill, so keep looking around.
