"Anti-piracy" law is planned to expand on photos and software

On Habré, discussions of the so-called "anti-piracy" law have appeared more than once or twice. Now this law concerns only video files, however, the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation has prepared several amendments, which can add photos and software to the list of “protected” copyright objects.



According to Deputy Minister of Culture Grigory Ivlev, if these amendments are approved, this law will “protect” everything except music files. In addition, it is planned to change the procedure for conducting pre-trial settlement of disputes between webmasters and rightholders.

Again, if the amendments are approved, the right holders will be able to complain about the violation of the hosting provider, which, in turn, must contact the resource owners with the requirement to remove the controversial content. If the owner refuses, the site is blocked within 24 hours. For refusal to block the resource a fine in the amount of one million rubles will be imposed. This million will be paid by both the site owners and the provider.
