"kreed"
Absolutely shocking - the part about "proving innocence" is a very large worry, and basically wiping their arses with our legal rights.
** Nothing new in it at all.
If you get a notice for illegal parking, speeding or going through a red light - guess what ?
You get your chance to prove the notice wrong.
Similarly, if you get charged with a crime by the police - you get your day in court to prove them wrong.
Assuming that copyright infringement is considered criminal in NZ, proof beyond reasonable doubt is required once the matter hits a court or other justice tribunal. So, all any accused has to do is show that such a doubt exits in their case.
The oft quoted " presumption of innocence " is largely a myth and many folk make the error of taking the words literally.
Taken literally, it means the police would never investigate nor arrest anyone.
