They prevent access by consumers to “copyright infringing websites”…

I am a New Zealander, living in New Zealand, and I use the Internet everyday for work, communication, instruction, friends, learning, helping others, hobbies, and play. In other words, I am also an cybercitizen of the world wide web.
