« News “learned the name of the founder of the infamous and very popular Russian torrent trekker RuTracker.org, which is to address all Mosgorusuda was blocked on 25 January. This person has in RuNet and other projects.

Where did RuTracker

RuTracker.org history began in 2004 . However, if this service was called torrents.ru. According to “Izvestia”, the founder of the project was Yegor Minin – at that time the administrator (later – the deputy director) Moscow ISP Ultranet (JSC “Lan-Telecom”) and creator of the popular in the 2000s, the portal of the home networks Homenetworks.ru.

Working administrator ISP, Minin said that by connecting to the house-networks, users have begun to actively share information within it, because the Internet connection was slow, and the traffic – very expensive. Most often as an intermediary between users acted server provider. Some users to upload files to it, and other downloads (via FTP).

At the same time providers have problems with copyright to the content. In an interview in 2002 Minin said that for Ultranet found another solution: the company has allowed users to share information with each other directly – bypassing your server (used by the program «DC ++» – a precursor torrents). In 2002, within this month the network passed approximately 3 TB of data. Minin also tried to expand their networks, file-sharing system similar to the then popular Napster (the American service was closed in the early 2000s for copyright infringement) – but it is popular with customers did not use. However, in 2004, when Russia began to develop broadband Internet access, Minin created a torrent tracker torrents.ru.

– I had a good domain name and was a man who used the right engine . And so I decided to let [all this] together will develop, – says “Izvestiya” Minin. – I offered him the domain name to use. Cooperate. It was a programmer who is still engaged in this website. His name is Dmitry. He has 10 years of experience in supporting RuTracker.

What’s the name of the programmer Dmitry Minin did not speak. But, according to several sources, to negotiate with the Roskomnadzor late last year came from Dmitry Simerzin RuTracker. Roskomnadzor spokesman declined to comment on the matter.

In 2009, the domain was transferred RuTracker.org offshore company Dreamtorrent Corp., registered in the Seychelles.

– I am not the owner RuTracker. I was the owner of the domain torrents.ru. When he had a claim, I donated his company, which now occupies the tracker – said “Izvestiya” Minin. – There’s a programmer, administrators and all. And then they blocked the domain, and they moved to RuTracker. I’m sitting in the community and does not take site.

In February 2010, on the basis of the decision of the investigative department of the Prosecutor’s Office Chertanovskaya district of Moscow city registrar domain torrents.ru – the company Ru-Center – has suspended its delegation. As a result, the torrent tracker moved to the domain RuTracker.org. According Minin, he continues to enjoy RuTracker today, but as a normal user.

Other projects founder RuTracker

In 2009, Minin creates another project – a photo-sharing service – fastpic.ru. Service allows a user to upload a photo and link it to another person.

– You could say that I work there. It is not mine, but I support it. Business rather complicated, resource, perhaps visited, but the return on this small – said Minin.

According Similarweb, monthly attendance fastpic.ru in December 2015 was 15.4 million.

This project, as well as torrents .ru in the first years of life and a number of sites running on the server is not the most popular company “Ayhoum» (ihome.ru; according to SPARK, revenue in 2014 – 320.5 million rubles, loss – 13 million). RuTracker actively cooperates with Fastpic.ru. In a news post administration torrent tracker
reported (the style of the author is stored. – “News”): “After the problems with the previous hosting company founders fastpic.ru perezaleyte to your host more than half a million images, users flooded rutracker.org, rescuing thereby drawing tens of thousands of hands. In addition, the resource proved to be stable and fast service, going to meet the wishes of our customers. Summarizing all the above – fastpic.ru – our new partner in the hosting of pictures and screenshots ».

« Izvestia “also found out that Minin was trying to do business outside the Internet – for the production of metal products. In particular, he was selling barbecues own production – through the company LLC “Gals”. It also used an offshore company – registered in the same country and the city that Dreamtorrent Corp. Company selling barbecues was registered to a PO box and Dreamtorrent Corp. – To the usual address. Website selling barbecues and was still placed on the servers of “Ayhoum».

– Before [I do this] was doing. Not anymore. Once the business has been successful. Who is not – said “Izvestiya” Minin. – The situation is changing. Something popular, something not. Business can not enjoy a constant demand.

Apparently, Minin business brings good income. We know that is interested in Minin wheel-drive vehicles. In 2004, Minin was a UAZ car in 2006, he moved to Nissan. This information Minin in a conversation with “Izvestia” to deny did not.

4 December 2015 on the joint the claim of the publishing house “Eksmo” and “SBA Production “(Russian” daughter “of the music label Warner Music Russia) The Moscow City Court decided that lifetime blocking torrent tracker RuTracker.org. Jan. 25 decision came on the execution of Roskomnadzor, which, by law, made the site address to the blacklist – and all domestic telecom operators should block access to torrent trackers for the residents of Russia.

6 December Administration RuTracker conduct exercises to circumvent locks for their users. Exactly on the day they closed the access to its site. Instead, users see the resource page with information on how to bypass the lock that will soon waiting for a site.

– Almost more than half are able to bypass the blockage. And those who did not pass once, learn, – said Minin. – Who will be able to 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.

The Internet already began to appear projects which should help the user to get to the locked resource. For example, the site dostup-rutracker.org invited to download a browser extension that will bypass the lock.

As far as lock prevents get to the site, you can see the example of a blocked site lurkmore. This encyclopedia of Internet memes has been blocked in the summer. Her attendance has declined by a third – to about 900 thousand. Visitors per month to 550 thousand.

According to the National Federation of the music industry (NFMI) Leonid Agronova, copyright holders trying to get out to the owners of RuTracker but each time unsuccessfully ran into offshore jurisdictions. These investigations suggest that the creators escaped from Russia because they fear incurring personal liability.

– If the owner RuTracker is within the jurisdiction of Russia, it should be responsible for the activities that RuTracker carried out all the time. Civil liability, including criminal – said Agronov.
