MED release summary of s92A submissions
(crossposted from CreativeFreedom.org.nz)
Today MED released a summary of s92A submissions and a press release that reads “There was general support for the Copyright Tribunal playing the role of independent third party arbiter if necessary [but that] A key concern raised by some submitters was the proposal to terminate internet accounts as a remedy to copyright infringement. It was felt termination was an unreasonable ‘remedy’, especially where multiple users of a single account could make identifying an infringer difficult.” Well, yes, internet termination will always harm innocent people because it can’t be targeted. It will always be unreasonable. It’s good to hear that there’s only an unreasonable fringe pushing for this ridiculous punishment.
