On Monday 23rd February 2009 New Zealand readers will find Geekzone and other local websites and blogs completely black during certain times of the day.

We are doing this as part of the Internet Blackout campaign to protest against the upcoming copyright laws that will virtualy remove users' rights when it comes to due course of justice.

You can find more about this on Juha's excellent post about S92a.

But surely you knew that TV3 news has partnered with Geekzone since a year or so ago... Geekzone is their Technology News provider.
