NZ copyright protest: Photos

Yesterday at noon, some 120 protesters descended upon New Zealand's parliament in the capital, Wellington, and handed over an e-petition against amendments to the Copyright Act with over 12,000 signatories, and a traditional one with 148 names, to the United Future party Leader Peter Dunne.

The new section 92A will force ISPs to disconnect customers who have allegedly infringed copyright. The demonstrators were waving black placards reading "ISPs are not a court" and "Fair go, not Fear go".
