The New Zealand copyright tribunal has imposed its first penalty under the countrys three strikes file sharing regulations. The name comes from baseball, where batters are automatically out if they fail to hit the ball after three tries. In New Zealand, your three strikes go something like this: A detection notice. A warning notice. See you at the tribunal. A notice of $25 to the rights holder for which there is a $25 rate limiter. The respondent will have to pay NZ$616.57 (just over US$500)”]
