New NZ copyright law means ISPs could cash in

3 warning cash cow

"As part of the process, once a copyright breach has been found, the ISP will then send three warning letters to the alleged offender. If warning letters fail to resolve the issue, the rights-holder – such as a movie studio or record company – can takes its case to the Copyright Tribunal, which will cost $200."

"A" copyright breach will *not* result in 3 warning letters as stated in the article. Each letter has to be for a different alleged breach, a minimum time spacing apart and not successfully challenged*. A rights holder can then invoke the tribunal after 3 infringements & letters have occurred from that *same* rights holder.

*To challenge a letter, the user must prove to the ISP their innocence against the assumed guilt that comes with accusation.
