Copyright (Infringing File Sharing):
In April 2011 the New Zealand Government passed the Copyright (Infringing File
Sharing) Amendment Act 2011. This act amends the Copyright Act 1994 to provide
content owners (Rights holders) of copyrighted works such as movies, TV shows
and music with a quicker and easier way to penalise people infringing their
copyright (from illegal downloading). Under this legislation, from the 11th of
August 2011 rights holders can begin to monitor for Internet access which
breaches their copyright, and to begin sending infringement notices for
breaches of copyright from the 1st of September 2011. This change affects all
users of all systems at CAREY BAPTIST COLLEGE, including staff, students,
casual users, students in residential villages, business on campus using CAREY
BAPTIST COLLEGE internet access, irrespective of location.
