UPDATED:  A report on Twitter says a New Zealand school has received its first infringement notice.

Orcon and TelstraClear have both received further infringement notices.

UPDATED Orcon, Vodafone, TelstraClear and Telecom have confirmed they have received copyright infringement notices under the Copyright (Infringing FIle Sharing) Amendment Act, which came into force in September.

The infringement notices the Australian Federation Against Copyright Theft issued iiNet were referred to police by the internet provider.

iiNet is currently embroiled in a complex case of alleged copyright breaches in Sydney, which could have implications for the global film and music industry and especially New Zealand as we have similar copyright legislation to Australia.
