Though one thing to note is that HTTP servers might not fit the definition of under the Act
http://www.legislation.govt.nz/act/public/2011/0011/latest/whole.html#DLM2 764329
³file sharing is where ³(a) material is uploaded via, or downloaded from, the Internet using an application or network that enables the simultaneous sharing of material between multiple users; and
Using an application or network? I see a web browser as an application and their internet connection as the network
³(b) uploading and downloading may, but need not, occur at the same time
Though just thinking some more in addition to HTTP GET there is also HTTP POST so yeah could fit.
So this may mean that if someone downloaded any file ONLY the law would not count as a file has to be uploaded and downloaded (maybe not at the same time) and if someone NEVER uploaded the file. Or does TCP ACK packets class as uploading???
