In what might be held up as a copybook case of the utilisation of social media to effect parliamentary change, it has just been announced that the coming-in-to-force of section 92 of the New Zealand Copyright Act will be delayed until March 29 and, in the event that no agreement is reached, will be suspended.
I posted last week about the “blackout” campaign that, after getting attention from Stephen Fry was top of the Twitter trending list on a number of occasions over the last few days.
While it’s been talked about forever – this truly is a case of power to the people.
Appropriately enough the news broke…. on Twitter!
