I havnt seen anything around the NZ net about these, I figure I might just be the first in the country.. Yay me :-P Section 53 (92B) of the Copyright (New Technologies) Amendment Act gives the ISP's alot of leeway in what number of offences defines a repeat infringer, but WxC have apparently decided that infringing twice is sufficent for termination. I find it highly ironic that WxC launch the new torrent plans at the same time they start strictly enforcing the new copyright law. Shame on you WxC, shame on you!
