The Creative Freedom Foundation announced that at 12 Noon on Thursday 19 February 2009 (today), a public demonstration will be held on Parliament grounds in Wellington in support of MPs against Guilt Upon Accusation laws in New Zealand specifically the controversial Section 92A of the Copyright Amendment Act, due to come into effect on 28 February 2009.
S92A reverses New Zealander’s fundamental right to being presumed innocent until proven guilty, punishing internet users with disconnection based accusations of copyright infringement without a trial and without evidence held up to court scrutiny.
One punter described S92A as authorising extra-judicial killings via your ISP. I thought that was a bit harsh, but then again where is the justice in this new law?
As you can see, I am already wearing black here as well as on my Facebook page and I’ll be there on the steps of parliament today. I won’t be wearing a frog suit, so you’ll have to take my word for it!

Why?..fly down to Wellington (think of the carbon footprint Frog!!!!) to stand on the steps of the house with Green party hypocrites….
I don’t think so, and anyway, since when did you support petitions?

Frog, if you want to do something useful, see the other thread on this issue, my last post, and find someone at the Beehive’s ear to whisper into someone who can make a difference.

Hi ya, dbuckley,
We have done exactly that. It seems that someone related to governent will want to take credit for having fixed the problem, so I have had a couple of conversations with other MPs so they know they have our support for taking action. We will have to see if they have the mettle. And as I have said in the last blog, who cares who does it, just get it done.
