New Zealand ISP refuses 3 Strikes

From P2PNet:

“InternetNZ deputy executive director Jordan Carter said the organisation was all in favour of developing an international treaty against content piracy but strongly disagreed against a global policy that enforced punishment on individual users who breached infringement notices,” the story continues.

“Instead, New Zealand should be able to develop its own regulations,” he said.

If the country decides it, rather than the corporate entertainment industry, should be drawing up rules and regulations which affect its citizens, it’ll be joining Spain and Germany which have both decided they, and not Hollywood or Big Music, will decide what, if anything, to do about the spectre of ‘piracy’.
