229 Supplementary provisions as to fraudulent reception

• (1) The Governor-General may from time to time, by Order in Council,—

  • (a) provide that section 227 applies in relation to programmes included in services provided from a country or territory outside New Zealand; and

  • (b) provide that section 228 applies in relation to such programmes and to encrypted transmissions sent from such a country or territory.

  (2) No such order shall be made unless it appears to the Governor-General that provision has been or will be made under the laws of that country or territory giving adequate protection to persons making charges for programmes included in communication works provided from New Zealand or, as the case may be, for encrypted transmissions sent from New Zealand.

  (3) Where sections 227 and 228 apply in relation to a communication work, they also apply to any service run for the person providing that service, or a person providing programmes for that service, where the service so run consists wholly or mainly in the sending by means of a telecommunications system of sounds or visual images, or both.
