In Russia still will register copyright and related rights (REC), where holders can register their audio or video work. This will facilitate their communication with the site owners about removing counterfeit. Competition Ministry of Communications to create such a system was canceled a week ago. But as told “Izvestia” Deputy Minister Alexei Volin, tender will be announced again.

information about the competition to create crucified was published on public procurement in October. The maximum contract price was 71.2 million rubles. According to the contest, the work had to be completed by the end of the year, applications will be accepted until mid-November. Then Application deadline extended until the beginning of December, and on 21 November, the Minister of Communications Nikolai Nikiforov signed the order of cancellation of the tender.

told “Izvestia” Wolin, REC will still be created. The tender was canceled due to technical reasons, and soon it will be announced again. The press service of the Ministry of Communications did not comment on what will be changed in the terms of reference and will be published when the new announcement. According to the plan of the Ministry of Communications, REC must earn in II quarter of 2014.

According to the terms of reference

still, we are talking about the “creation of an information system that provides identification and registration of recorded audiovisual works and phonograms in digital form, as well as informing about the mode is set to use them.” Copyright holders provide the technology with which they can create so-called digital fingerprint belonging to them, for any musical work or film work. Such prints uploaded to the site crucified. Next online marketplace where users pumped content can compare audio or video file to the database of digital fingerprints and understand – who is the owner and any restrictions on the distribution of their property this franchisor slandered.

As you know, Google has introduced a YouTube video she owned a similar technology called Content ID. Holder can register for this service, a movie as his property, and YouTube will not allow others to post similar videos – even in modified form (in a different size or a carved fragments, etc.). Similar technologies are developing gay “VKontakte” and search engine “Yandex».

According to the director of music social network VMA Artashes Andreasyan, in Russia there are many registers audio and video, but all of them are closed to public access. The largest – the Russian Authors’ Society. Idea to the Ministry of Communications has worked, it is necessary to REC was open and technologically advanced.

– Specification s, which was published – technologically backward. Such a system would be inconvenient to use. For example, in the United States now have a system that for any 15 works define who its author, who is the franchisor and how much it costs to purchase a license. Perhaps in the Ministry of Communications was a man who read TK and criticized him. Need to make the new terms of reference. Here it is necessary to look ahead 10-20 years – said Andreassian.

Last year the Ministry of Communications conducted a competition to create a prototype of the “national platform digital content.” Won his company “Muz.ru”, which, according to its general director Sergei Sichkar, completed work on a state contract (its cost was 30 million rubles without VAT). The prototype was handed the Ministry of Communications. According Sichkar “Muz.ru” hoped that the ministry will continue the project. However, the terms of reference of canceled contest it was about creating sprayed from scratch and developed a prototype last year was not mentioned.

– The emergence of open registry can help the development of start-ups in the industry – says CEO Dmitry Universal Music Russia Konnov. – From it you can find out who owns the rights to the product, how to contact the owner, ideally, how much license. It is important that changes to the registry could make themselves holders and that they were responsible for the information provided.
