New Zealand progressive on fair use laws

As reported by Ars Technica, the New Zealand Billet of Representatives passed a bill on 8 April 2008 reforming copyright law for the "digital age". Most netizens steady outside the US will have approach across the American DMCA: any acknowledge seems tainted by the taste of bile. The DMCA criminalises circumvention of digital rights manipulation (DRM) technologies and access controls—scads folk argue at the expense of "honest use". Do the NZ reforms provide workable compromise?

Ars cite a Canadian law professor as saying:

The anti-circumvention provisions are arguably the wealthiest of any country, since they are compliant with WIPO, small in scope, and seek to preserve satisfactory dealing rights.

Having looked at the new Copyright (New Technologies) Change Bill I find myself all but as confused as I was before; it raises at least as numerous questions as it answers.

Time and looks shifting

I've always wondered unequivocally how recording a TV programme to VHS tape, DVD+RW, or PVR unsentimental drives sat with current copyright laws. It essential be pretty unusual to walk into a living range and not find the home owner's darling TV series or movie archived on recordable media for repeated viewing at their recreation. Fortunately the bill specifies that anyone watching TV that isn't "tangible" is no longer engaged in a criminal act (recording of an on-on presentation broadcast isn't allowed). It does bad-tempered, however, that domestic recording libraries are unruffled illegal: you must watch your recordings within a "believable" time frame and then cross out them. No repeat viewings (you'll get those on TV anyway!). A duo of examples help clarify this:

A records a talking picture to be screened on television because she commitment be at work when it screens. She watches the film on the weekend and then later tapes over with it. Provided the conditions in s 84(1) are met, the replication that A makes is not an infringing likeness.

B copies music from a streamed Internet audio serving and keeps the copy as part of B's music accumulation, in order to listen to it multiple times on on request. Copies made for the home library or whip-round in this way are infringing copies.

If you can buy a effect that is designed to let you record digital box to a hard disk, and then shake up it to DVD, why shouldn't you also be allowed to "aspect shift" it for viewing on your iPod (for sample)? Oddly, although the bill makes contents shifting music/ audiobooks etc. from CD to your iPod authorized (it wasn't before, despite being extremely practised) it does not extend the that having been said rights to video. As you read the following, mentally substitute "video recording" for "din recording":
