Danyl - as far as I know the Copyright Tribunal is only able to hear 
applications that relate to licensing schemes or file sharing infringements, 
which is what the web site seems to say:

"The Copyright Tribunal is an independent body that hears disputes about 
licensing schemes and applications about file sharing infringements under the 
Copyright Act 1994." ( http://www.courts.govt.nz/tribunals/copyright-tribunal 
)

Or did you mean whether the approach would be helpful to someone enforcing 
the terms of a CC licence if the Tribunal system was modified to be able to 
hear cases of plain-old copyright infringement.

Kia ora koutou

Thanks Hamish, this is interesting. If the myth of copyright as a magic 
circle of protection for the struggling artist was true, and if the magic 
arrow power to enforce copyright was equally distributed, you would expect to 
see New Scientists et al sued out of existence for this flagrant breach of 
copyright, just as Napster, Grokster, and so many others have been, or 
criminalized like MegaUpload, and driven underground like the Pirate Bay 
search engine.

That this hasn't happened, demonstrates that copyright currently works as a 
legal circle of protection for Big Media corporations and consortia like the 
RIAA and MPAA, who have the money and political influence to afford the 
'shock and awe' enforcement described above.

I'm interested in whether people think the Copyright Tribunal approach here 
would be helpful to people wanting to enforce the conditions of a CC license, 
or whether it's only useful to those enforcing ARR copyright.
