						It would seem impossible for there to not be unintended consequences.  Orcon was kind enough to disable my internet access recently, my wife didn't even notice because her MacBook had decided to use my neighbour's wifi and neither of us even noticed it until suddenly _I_ had no internet access.?

						So I'm a little confused &ndash; we're doing this to the internet because someone pirated Sione's Wedding and sold DVD in street markets in Auckland .... will the people who run the street markets also be required to ban customers who have previously bought dodgy DVDs from their vendors? it's?

						The extra-judicial nature of the termination is what worries me. There's no requirement for a right of appeal, and whilst the ordinary court processes of injunctions and lawsuits will, of course, be open, that's just not a path that's going to happen unless someone who's a) wealthy and b) gives?

						<blockquote>Does (or not) the "reasonably" oblige ISPs to terminate only in "reasonable" circumstances?</blockquote>I think Cunliffe said that the delay in implementation is to work out exactly what the system will be. Considering the ISPs think it would, practically, be based on accusations and RIANZ has said having to sue would?
