New Zealand Law Society has proposed that importunate copyright violators should be subjected to a total ban on the Internet. If this move comes into effect, it will not allow the infringers to make an account with some other ISP.

The New Zealand Law Society thinks that the present bill that draws on three-strikes decree is not that strict. Therefore, it is imperative that if suspended from an ISP, the online infringers should be forbidden from using the internet altogether. With this ban, the offenders will not be in a position to violate the copyright anymore.

On the projected rule change, Clive Elliott of the New Zealand Law Society said, "The Bill proposes that District Courts be able to order a six month suspension of a person's Internet Services Provider (ISP) account for serious copyright infringement".

He adds that this bill will, however, do not impede the offender from making an account with some other ISP. Therefore, the proposed bill should have the authority to stop the person from opening an account with any other ISP, when is under suspension period. This would make sure that he is not able to carry on with unlawful file sharing.

Meanwhile, InternetNZ Policy Director, Jordan Carter said that taking away a person's right completely, is not required.
