New Zealand banning music blogs?


I just got an email saying the following:
    This is fucked up so I thought I’d share it with you.

    Remember New Zealand, that tiny country that gave everyone Flight of the Conchords, Liam Finn, Ladyhawke, Crowded House etc etc? Well they’ve just passed a law that bans music blogging.

    Essentially, the law requires ISPs to disconnect anyone ‘suspected’ of downloading something illegally. Music blogs fit under this definition. There will be no trials or proof, all they need is ‘suspicion’.

    If this sounds a little messed up to you, you can sign the petition, or even just spread the word through your blog!
