Hi

after reading the article on the home page I had a couple of thoughts

This bill is a 2 edge sword, by that i mean taht what is to stop a group of like minded individuals getting together & using the law against all the people/ceo's/heads of organizations & most of all the politicians that were for this bill ?
You don't need any evidence, just there ip address, you don't even need to be a copyright holder

How long before this bill gets reviewed, if john key or bill English started getting warning letters from there isp ?

It's a viable form of protest.

But I understand there's a charge to filing the infringement notices.

So you'd need a source of funds for that.

And a friendly lawyer to check it was all 'above board'.
