General Discussion » The wording... — Creative Freedom Foundation: Community: — Creative Freedom FouSource: creativefreedom.org.nzNew Zealand Copyright for Artists NZ law reads "repeat infringer means a person who repeatedly infringes the copyright in a work"....
That "a work", strictly meaning an infringement of the same work repeated times.
Initially i also thought that the implementation of the law would follow the intent, not the badly worded clause.
However, this appears to not be the case.
'Penal statutes will be strictly construed' -- this is a universal principle in NZ law that if a penal provision is rasonably capable of two interpretations, that interpretation which is most favourable to the accused must be adopted.
alas, as there's no legal expert involved in this kangaroo court, universal principles may be hard to find.

I'm pretty sure the Copyright
I'm pretty sure the Copyright Act is not a penal statute. Termination is not a punishment (in the strict legal sense), it is a remedy for the complainant.
I know that we are all very excited about this, but getting the law wrong because you're not a lawyer does not help us make a credible case.
That's quite a condescending
That's quite a condescending comment Stephen. Rest assured this did come via a legal expert.
