Today New Zealand businesses and individuals are joining in on a massive protest against the Guilt Upon Accusation law ‘Section 92A’ that calls for internet disconnection based on accusations of copyright infringement without a trial and without any evidence held up to court scrutiny. This is due to come into effect on February 28th unless immediate action is taken by the National Party.

A massive “blackout” of websites are occurring today from major online players such as Scoop Media, Zoomin, GeekZone, SilverStripe and many more. See full list here.

Transfercar will be carrying a centrally placed banner on all our pages in support of the protest. Click here for screenshot.
