APRA lead the way copyright in self-education

The proposed changes to the law in NZ to make ISPs police the Internet has always held a self-defeating potential for those advocating it (APRA, for example here).

I came across this blog describing how APRA actually had material on their site that might well have generated strike one for them!

"Big music" is way behind the technological eight ball as far as digital distribution is concerned - that is pretty well known. That they continue to pursue such ultimately self-defeating policies (hiding behind the human shield of the poor individual creator) I guess might be seen in a positive light, however. The last gasps from the dinosaurs will see interesting places for young musical entrepeneurs and innovators with a more flexible view of how technology will be used in the future. Score 1 CC/remix culture et al.
The site advocating resistance to this new law is worth checking out.
