The authorities took up the torrents – no pirated content – Commander

On the territory of the Russian Federation has started to operate an updated law “On information”. Amendments to the anti-piracy law came into force on 1 May this year. According to the content of the document, all the sites that placed illegal content (video, audio, books) will be blocked. Since the beginning of the month Roskomnadzor has closed hundreds of pirate Internet resursvo. However, social networks and torrents were able to get around the bill and can not be locked.

According to the explanation of the representatives of the Court, unlike the last of the pirate sites is the way of earnings. If the income comes not from illegal downloading of content and ballpen on advertising with them, it is not a violation of the law and to block the site for such a reason can not.

This approach suits all. The owners of social networks, torrents and search engines are profiting as if “without violating” the law, and end users continue to download pirated products, paying little attention to the sparkling around advertising. I do not know about you, but the author of this article is mainly listening to music on social networks and news film industry takes with torrents. It turns out a new anti-piracy law had no effect on the illegal distribution of content. And I think people like me in the country millions.

It is worth noting that the government is currently working on a draft document, which will allow a legitimate way to remove responsibility from the resources of the type of social networks, torrents and search engines. This approach is fully legalize their activities. It will suit all but the rights holders are strongly counting on the new law, and eventually left holding the bag.

And finally, give an example of one of the authors of this news. What is different from the torrent minibus with playing music? It turns out nothing. Only the first, first download, and listen to transport immediately. If the block torrents for links, then the drivers of minibuses and should be planted for sounding in the cabin Chanson.

It is worth noting that in the certificate issued by the scientific advisory board listed three criteria by which one can free online resource from liability equating it with information intermediaries. First and foremost, the site receives no profit from pirated content, which is posted on his server, though this is a direct profit from the sale of pirated content, the profit received from display ads on the page hosting the similar material is indirect and Internet resources can be regarded as information broker . It is also necessary to establish who is posted pirated content if users themselves this information resource. And the third reason is the evaluation of the fact whether there is a moderation of the resource by the administration before the publication of the material or it is not and will not excessively costly such approval.
