The reason for the proceedings was the claim by the company “SBA Production “, representing the interests of the musician-rapper Guf, as the claim was filed book publishing house” Eksmo “, in connection with the illegal distribution of books of science fiction writer Alexander Gromov and author of detective novels Darya Series.

It is noted that the policy in relation to the resource holders will be clear within a week.

RuTracker.org was formed in 2004, when the service is called torrents.ru. According to the newspaper “Izvestia”, the founder of the project was Yegor Minin, who at the time worked as the manager of the Moscow ISP Ultranet (JSC “Lan-Telecom”).

In February 2010, the company Ru-Center has suspended the domain delegation torrents.ru in accordance with the decision of the investigative department of the Prosecutor’s Office Chertanovskaya district of Moscow. Torrent Tracker moved to another domain, which is used to date – rutracker.org. It is also noted that the domain name is available to offshore companies Dreamtorrent Corp., which is registered in the Seychelles.

According to the Minin, now he is not the owner of the tracker, he was the owner of a domain torrents.ru, which donated company engaged in the development and support, as soon as the claim to the domain.

Reports of emergency locking resource appeared on the site back in November and in early December the service administration conducted exercises for its users to bypass locks . Then the site was blocked by the administration, instead of the main page users see a message about how to bypass the blockage.

«Almost more than half are able to bypass the blockage. And those who did not pass once, learn, – says Minin, – Who can bypass the lock, he can. Who is not, go to other trackers. As for me, if RuTracker block, I will set myself VPN and will use it. Qualifications will allow ».

Also, the Internet began to appear websites you can use to bypass the restrictions on access to the resource. In particular, the site is now open dostup-rutracker.org, where you can download a browser extension to unlock.

According to the Leonid Agronova, served as head of the National Federation of the music industry (NFMI), rightholders have tried repeatedly to go to guide the tracker, but is constantly “ran into offshore jurisdictions.” Agronov notes that all of these investigations suggest that the creators escaped from Russia because they fear personal responsibility.
