As you know I have sent letters to the government before, and this time its about my fundamental right of ‘innocent until proven guilty’.

I will publicize my official letter to all members of parliament as soon as I have finalized it.

Until then I would like to share the copy and paste version from the Creative Freedom website.

Hi,
I’ve just become aware about some major proposed changes in NZ law that will have a huge impact on artists, businesses, and general members of the public: basically anyone that uses the internet, and I thought you should know about them.
The proposed Section 92 of the Copyright Amendment Act assumes Guilt Upon Accusation and forces the termination of internet connections and websites without evidence, without a fair trial, and without punishment for any false accusations of copyright infringement. We should speak out against injustices like Guilt Upon Accusation being done in the name of artists and protecting creativity.
The countdown is on: we have until 28 February 2009 to influence government.
An organisation called the Creative Freedom Foundation has been set up to specifically represent artists voices on these issues. Check out their website: http://www.creativefreedom.org.nz , sign up and help our MPs make an informed decision about S92!
Thanks,

Make your voice heard! Don’t let them do this!

Thanks,
James
