Not In My Name
Blog EntriesToday a bunch of people stood in Wellington waving blank, black placards. Why? Because they were protesting section 92 of the Copyright Amendment Act. That section means that if you are accused of breaching somebody’s copyright online, guilt is assumed, your internet connection will be forcibly terminated and your website can be taken offline. Those black placards represented your blank computer screen if this section is preserved and you are accused of appropriating somebody elses artistic creation.
I would rather share my work without profit than live in a society that draconian. Please visit creativefreedom.org.nz and join the effort for change.
