<snip>"In the wake of online and in-person protests over impending
copyright legislation, New Zealand Prime Minister John Key has
announced a month's delay in the rules to give the industry time to
come up with a workable alternative."</snip>

<snip>Media commentator David Farrar of Kiwiblog said the legislation
was wrong because it had been rejected by a parliamentary select
committee and was reinserted at the last minute when people thought
the matter had been resolved.</snip>
