Kiwiright: the story of the Internet Blackout protest
Written by Erica Leahy   

The Internet Blackout was launched by the Creative Freedom Foundation in December 2008.  The purpose of the campaign was to raise public awareness of S92A of the Copyright Amendment Act and to protest against a law that allowed 'Guilt Upon Accusation'.

"© kiwiright" is a 12 minute documentary about copyright, s92a and the Internet Blackout by Josh Davidow.  Davidow uses footage from interviews with New Zealand lawmakers, technologists and Disney clips to explain copyright law and how it is being distorted to the benefit of corporate right holders rather then the artists who create the work.

You can watch the documentary at the "© kiwiright" website. Facebook users can see the documentry on facebook and become a fan.
