Only 1.6% of New Zealanders support a new law’s provision requiring people to prove their innocence, or face penalties of up to $15,000 and internet disconnection, if accused of breaching copyright when transferring files. Some 89% think authorities should have to prove a person has illegally transferred files before they are disconnected from the internet. According to a new HorizonPoll survey of 1,922 people nationwide between April 15 and 22, 37.1% support the law to stop copyright breaches through file sharing, while 38.3% oppose.
