Copyright aims to balance private property rights with specific public rights in a way that encourages innovation in the arts, business, culture, and public commentary.  But if the balance is not right, innovation is stifled.  If  section 92 comes into effect then public rights will be drastically undermined by a law that automatically treats people as criminals.

Laws regulating the act of copying have failed to keep pace with technology and soon ISPs will be forced to take down internet connections and websites of anyone accused (not convicted) of copyright infringement. Copyright law is now having the effect of limiting artists, restricting businesses, and harming public rights.  For more information See:
