New Zealand copyright law

ok well the government is trying to get rid of illegal file sharing by allowing copyright holders to issue a complaint and if you get three complaints you get a $15,000 dollar fine.

Opinions?

$15,000 is extortionate. But, illegal filesharing is generally bad.

yea. they say they will track you from torrents. the thing is it is really easy for me to do a ip reroute or just hide my ip

I have a piece of advice that I dunno, people just don't think of this one y'know, they just don't. And basically it's, you could simply not pirate stuff. I know that's a radical and far out concept, will probably take decades for it to really sink in because the impact of such a piece of advice is so overwhelming, well, most people just can't handle it

New Zealand, U mad?

DW stop sitting on your high horse you've pirated things and don't deny it. Meh just use an IP mask/ changer and your set for life

Bro tip: use magnet for faster aquiring of torrents.

Yep, I've torrented one thing, no wait two, but one of which I intend to buy in the next couple of months and the second because my version of windows didn't come with an OS disk

I've torrented some things... some legal others not so legal... like some linux OSes that are only downloaded via torrent or Windows 7 (I really don't wanna live with Windows Vista <.<)

Well thats all ok then and pirating anything made by microsoft is generally considered acceptable

I've only Torrented about 100 Gig of Movies ... No Bigy

Would only be an $1,500,000 Fine.

Pocket change

That it is, That it is.

yea well I am just going to get a ip reroute or just direct download (I do that for tv programs) they cant track a direct download so im all good.

Alternatively, you could just not live in new Zealand, and move to Sea land.

Or you could develop your morals.

hmmm... considering all I am doing is seeing something when it comes out in the UK because New Zealand is always a year behind I cant see my morals being that far out
