New Zealand’s Copyright Act Makes Businesses Responsible for Allegations of Employee’s Infringement

From SLA’s Public Policy blog:

On 28 February 2009, Section 92A of New Zealand’s revised Copyright Act will require Internet service providers to terminate Internet accounts on the basis of copyright holders’ allegations of infringement.
What is interesting, or perhaps disturbing, is that under this new law, businesses that provide Internet access for employees will now be classified as Internet service providers.
