I think we should push for an amendment to the parallel importing act, that states if a copyrighted item is not available for sale in new zealand, it should be considered in the public domain in new zealand.

If you can't buy it here from a local retailler, then it should be considered free.

Or more likely: If it isn't available in NZ, then any directly relevant NZ-registered "intellectual property" is annulled due to irrelevance.

Though perhaps fairness is that the nullification isn't done until after specific date at which the product should be due.


IDK, just ideas for the sake of ideas.
