As this video says, we may need to rethink some things...

Its very hard for digital media to be encapsulated into a secure 
enviroment where total control over who sees or uses the contained media 
can be assured! Intellectual Property online has to be considered 
differently and in doing so we have to understand that the internet is 
evolving, evolving with no idea of the concept with copyright, ethics 
and property until we apply that concept, only problem is there is no 
global concept that we all agree on.

I beleive there is a War between the real world and the internet, a war 
between us and a virtual enviroment we power each day, give meaning to 
and fund.

NZFACT is a huge fuckin joke and as far as im concerned, they are just a 
NZ extension of the MPAA. Just as stupid, unccepting to new technology, 
methods and stuck at the same point of understanding a new technology as 
they were back when VCR's appeared on the market and they cried that the 
VCRs will movies!!

Anti-Piracy is a feeble attempt to make people think the same as you do...
Download, Steal This Film Part 2 - and you'll understand that piracy is 
our basic requirements of learning and understanding and evolving as 
people.

and I would like to make one final statement, the DMCA is the most 
retarded law I know of, I'm only glad NZFACT failed at attempting to 
push a simplified version of the DMCA into our revision of the copyright 
act acouple of years ago.

"To every evil there is good, like the MPAA. To every MPAA employee, 
there is a hacker."
