New Zealand We need your help

UPDATE: May 5th 6:42GMT new target coming soon

People of New Zealand,

Acting in the name of information freedom, Anonymous has launched an offensive against your government in reaction and retaliation to the Copyright Amendment Bill's passage through the New Zealand parliament. By attacking the parliament website, we have only begun to make our voice heard; the New Zealand government has responded by cutting themselves off from the outside world in an attempt to block international traffic. Anonymous from across the world are doing all we can to continue our attack. However, it is the people of New Zealand who must ultimately reclaim their freedoms. You can concretely demonstrate your support and articulate your dissent by joining our assault. The manner in which you can do so is at the bottom of this message.

Human rights abuses will not be ignored, and human rights violations will not go unpunished. Anonymous stands against 'corpus juris' - in which case a person is considered guilty until proven innocent. This theory is fundamentally wrong and the legislation must be opposed by you, the citizens of New Zealand.

It is time for the people of New Zealand to send their government the message that they refuse to tolerate these abuses! Beginning September 1, 2011, you will have to fight to prove your innocence as your government argues your guilt. Internet suspensions and $15k fines are measures the government will impose on the innocent people of New Zealand under the Copyright Amendment Bill. Private interests can abuse this law by claiming that home users are violating copyrights. Punishable infringements can include routine and forthright activities, such as watching a youtube video.

This is not in the interest of the people of New Zealand. Anonymous stands for the freedom of speech and for the free flow of information. We will continue our attack against government websites in protest, denying their corruption participation in the public sphere.

You can help from within the country by utilizing the Low Orbit Ion Cannon (LOIC) program [1,2]. LOIC bombards a target website with requests, effectively blocking access to it. Because an attack using the LOIC tool is conducted by many machines simultaneously, the probability of an individual facing government retribution is slim.

We must confront the New Zealand government with all we have to prove that New Zealanders will not accept their oppression.

Details explaining the Copyright Amendment Bill have been made available via YouTube [3].

You are anonymous.
You are legion.
You should not forgive.
You should not forget.
Expect the full support of anonymous !!

Technical note: Turn off your anti virus when downloading LOIC. Once the program has been launched, set it to 'trust' or the equivalent setting. Occasionaly virus scanners mark LOIC as a virus. Fear not, the version of LOIC included here is the weapon of choice for Anonymous. While LOIC is not the only tool that can be used to attack, it is the most user-friendly tool.

@madoogliani Its more then just the spread of information. Its the spread of free information. Yes i can watch the news or read a paper. But that's Controlled information, with the internet i can find all side's of the story. But its also the idea of free exchange of ideas. Why should i have to buy shitty music, When i know artists who give there's away free and are better then most signed artists. And with the internet i can not talk to any one around the world. I have friends across the globe

[UnderTheRadarMLG]

we could have done better, this message just wasn't publicised enough. if it was, there would have been more protests etc

[2mitchmitch]

FUCK YEAH NEW ZEALAND!

[OwntyFundoe]

lol no one uses the shit website...useless attack

[madoogliani]

@JonseyMcFly You can still have a free exchange of ideas by going and talking to people on the street, or phoning them up. Th information's there, just harder to access. I like the internet and all, but don't think of it as a human right. I hope you're not suggesting you have a human right to free downloadable music.
