Abstract

This report outlines the remarkable story of how an international police raid for alleged copyright infringement activities ultimately became a story of illegal spying on New Zealanders, and political deals on revised surveillance laws, while precipitating proposals for a Digital Rights and Freedoms Bill and resulting in the creation of a new political party. The authors outline how civil society has tried to respond and suggest action points for the future.

Keywords: International law, Human rights, Surveillance law, Information protection, Digital rights and freedoms, New Zealand
