The Creative Freedom Foundation has teamed up with muso's Mike Corb, Luke Rowell / Disasteradio and produced the Guilt Upon Accusation anthem titled "The Copywrong Song".

Along with the national black out campaign which has seen New Zealanders and celebs such as UK comedian Stephen Fry blacking out photos on social networking sites, the song kicks off a week of protests against Section 92A of the Copyright Amendment Act which is due to come into force on February 28.

The Copywrong Song can be downloaded for free at here.

Downloaders are also encouraged to take part in the Remix Challenge.

Creative Freedom Foundation Director Bronwyn Holloway-Smith says "We invite artists everywhere to remix and contribute tracks to show that they don't want Guilt Upon Accusation laws done in the name of protecting art and creativity.".

Remixed tracks will later be collated into the CFF's version of The Ultimate Copywrong Song.

The Creative Freedom Foundation's petition against Guilt Upon Accusation laws in NZ has rapidly grown overnight, ballooning from 5600 to over 9200 signatures including over 3400 artists.

The petition can be signed by artists and the wider public at www.CreativeFreedom.org.nz.
