Russian President Dmitry Medvedev plans to introduce providers responsibility for infringement of "intellectual rights" by Internet users
Since yesterday, on the RBC website, it is not difficult to read the following news (I quote selectively):
Immediately, I note that in RBC, after the words “will be responsible for the violation of intellectual rights”, muttering was added “on general grounds if there is guilt”, but it is ridiculous (it’s difficult to imagine a provider who transmits materials on the Internet unintentionally and without knowing it) so it seems to be a clumsy attempt to verbally soften the terrible blow inflicted on the provider eBusiness - the one that will undoubtedly harshly respond to ordinary users if (or rather, when) the providers wish to defend themselves.
Depending on the magnitude of losses incurred by providers, extremes are possible here, in which a significant (and even most) part of Internet users will be pressured by circumstances to switch to read only mode, it is not possible to transfer and post materials on the Internet.

Imagine, for example, that before publishing this blog on Habrahabr, I would have to provide the provider with a certificate of the licensed purity of my author’s text and the legal admissibility of incomplete citing RBC (made with the hyperlink to the source), signedtwo or three lawyers in advance ( for two or three weeks), in two or three copies, with the payment of the duty of radioactive waste (or other dealers) and the attachment of several notarized copies of the relevant receipt.
Probably, it will not come to such extremes soon,but some movement in this unattractive direction will undoubtedly begin; The Russian Internet after the adoption of these amendments will never, never be the same.
Appendage. Since the comments publicize doubts as to whether this news refers precisely to the second of April, and not to the first, I believe it is reasonable to bring several hyperlinks to the United Russia website of April 2:

A new article of the Civil Code has been introduced, providing for the general principles of liability of information intermediaries (Internet providers): when transferring materials on the Internet or providing third parties with the opportunity to post materials, they will be responsible for the violation of intellectual rightsWell: as you know, the elections are over, gentlemen - it seems that now you can not be shy in legislative initiatives, completely exposing your face.
