Thing is, it was a perfect example of why the new copyright laws are going in the wrong direction. But going viral - this was something else! Wow! The result: I was on a high for the rest of the weekend! I mean, being published in a book or magazine is hugely exciting. It was twittered, linked, copied and emailed. Within hours of posting my cartoon to Facebook and this blog and emailing it to the Creative Freedom Foundation, it had already spread far and wide across the web, from Scoop to Frogblog, Kiwiblog, Comics Lifestyle and beyond. My own contribution to the campaign was a quickly thrown together cartoon which became my first small taste of going viral. Thousands of people have also blacked out their twitter, facebook, myspace (etc) profile pictures, in opposition to this silly and unjust new copyright law. ![]() The Internet Blackout in protest at s92 of the Copyright Amendment Act is now over, having climaxed today with a huge blackout of websites and blogs. ![]()
