Cheers, comrades!

Today, on Saturday, August 10, 2013, the initiative against the “anti-piracy” law was withdrawn from the POI after reaching 1,00057 votes — and sent to an expert group for consideration.

Now, according to the law, the document on “prohibiting arbitrary blocking of sites” is to be analyzed by a special expert group at the federal level under the leadership of the minister for relations with the open government of Mikhail Abyzov.
Based on the results of the review of the initiative, the expert working group for no more than two months should prepare an opinion and decision on the development of the relevant regulatory legal act or taking other measures to implement the initiative.

The petition, calling for the repeal of the law on the protection of intellectual rights on the Internet, was posted by the Pirate Party of Russia together with the Association of Internet Users and the Roskomsvoboda project on July 4, 2013.
The initiative overcame the 100-thousandth threshold in a month and one week.

The news about this event hit the TOP Yandex.News and generally spreads around the internet like an avalanche, no matter the weekend. It seems that the entire Internet is celebrating its small IRL victory. Whether it will grow into a big victory is hard to say. But in any case, as Temych wrote, it showed that

We are a civil society, we prove it with our interaction tool, its name is the Internet.

Thanks to all those who are not indifferent, who somehow took part in supporting this initiative.

History reference

The Russian Public Initiative project was launched in April 2013. Vladimir Putin, in his election article in February 2012, wrote that citizens ’initiatives, which collected more than 100,000 signatures on the Internet, should be considered by parliament.

The proposal to repeal the anti-piracy law was the second to gather 100,000 votes on the ROI website. The first was the initiative of Alexei Navalny to ban officials from buying cars more expensive than one and a half million rubles.
