The Copyright (Infringing File Sharing) Amendment Act 2011 came into force on September 1st. Many former and current students have contacted me about the new ‘3 strikes’ law.
They are targeting people who use P2P (peer-to-peer sharing) software like uTorrent, BitComet, FrostWire, Ares, LimeRunner, Bearshare and Vuze (this is not a complete list) to download copyrighted music, TV or movies. If you have one of these programs on your computer I would advise you to remove it.
The internet account holder is liable regardless if it was the kids or the neighbour that did the illegal downloading! So do take precaution. Talk to your family and friends. Make sure everyone knows the basics of the new law, especially anyone using your computer.
As an alternative, I am currently putting together some information about where you can download media legally. So stay tuned.
For information on this law please visit InternetNZ’s new website here.
