New Zealand Internet Blackout

If you haven’t heard about it yet, you need to get along to the Creative Freedom Foundation to help join the protest surrounding the looming implementation of a copyright Act that is coming close to becoming law which effectively creates what people are calling a “Guilt Upon Accusation” situation.

There is an Internet Blackout running where everyone is supporting the protest by covering their social networking profile photos with a black box or loading banners like the one on the right.

There are plenty of instructions available for blacking out your Facebook, MySpace, Twitter or Bebo accounts as well as options for promotion on your website or you can sign the petition as well.

Join in and show that we don’t all agree with blanket rules that remove people’s basic rights!
