Copyright infringement is a very serious issue that is plaguing the modern world. Many individuals engage in piracy unknowingly because they have got used to downloading things for free on the internet. However, there is no difference between this form of piracy and any instance of petty theft. Piracy is a serious issue and it has serious consequences. There is an entire industry of individuals who are affected by piracy; the men and women who have worked hard to create the materials that are being pirated are the ones that suffer as their income stream is severely jeopardised by this phenomenon. Piracy in all of its manifestations is something that needs to be completely eradicated from the world we live in.
The New Zealand Federation Against Copyright Theft, or NZFACT, is an organisation that is committed to ensuring and protecting the rights of the New Zealand film and television industry, retailers, and movie fans.

Village Roadshow Limited
Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, New Zealand
Paramount Pictures Corporation
Sony Pictures Releasing International Corporation
Twentieth Century Fox International Corporation
Universal International Films, Inc
Warner Bros. Pictures International, a division of Warner Bros.Pictures Inc.
NZFACT works with enforcement agencies and government officials to ensure the copyright infringement and piracy of any kind do not take place in New Zealand.
