nakedmolerat:
hellonearthisman: I was thinking on doing an arts project called on the edge of torrents, where I would only download the legal sections of illegal torrents, basically collecting the nfo files and not the main movies. This would generate a false positive that would mean I would have to go to court to defend these and that just became too costly in reality.
Might look at creating a http://www.kickstarter.com/ project to raise some funding for this conceptual work.


you have my support and money.



...and my axe

Reading this article, it appears that Hostels and the like providing wifi net access may actually be exempt from the law:  http://www.nzcs.org.nz/newsletter/article/129


I wouldn't want to be the one to test this out in court though..
