While the 3 strikes law comes into effect on Sept 1st, rights holders can harvest infringing IP's from today.
Probably I am wrong because you'd have thought there would have been something in the news.

freitasm: The law is not making P2P illegal, for goodness sake. It's just creating a process for complaints of illegal file sharing.

PaulBrislen: Very interesting article but unfortunately not relevent in New Zealand because the Copyright Act says the account holder is responsible regardless of whether their IP address has been borrowed by someone else...
but the US judge is exactly right - having an IP address is no guarantee that the person at the other end of it is infringing.
our govt has side-stepped that completely.
PaulBrislen: They have to prove offending (to the IPAP) on 13 different points, right down to when the offending is supposed to have occurred (to the second).
I'm hoping this will stop too much nonsense, but given what's happened internationally with regard to copyright infringement (Google reports almost half the notices it receives are bogus) I'm concerned as well.
