Anonymous has declared war against the New Zealand government after a controversial anti-piracy law was passed in the country.

Anonymous posters distributed online recently have called onto users to join distributed denial-of-service attacks against New Zealand Parliament's website.

www.parliament.nz was hit on Saturday and then again on Tuesday. The site remains offline at the time of writing this article.

"Problems are brewing for people of New Zealand. Their government has decided to wiretap citizens indiscriminately and the Copyright Infringing File Sharing Amendment Bill has been passed allowing law enforcement to cut off internet access to those accused of Piracy.

"[...] This law is in breach of certain Ideals we Anons hold true, ideals such as Internet freedom," the group writes in its manifesto.
