They promise a hot summer ... Changes in the "anti-piracy" law take effect July 1, 2014

And again, the officials of the lute ... Recently there was an article about the introduction of the bill, now it is adopted in the first reading, and is waiting for a meeting with us on July 1, 2014. Now more specifically about the changes ...

Due to the fact that the situation may affect us in the first place, we decided to figure out what was happening ...
Replacing the phrase “films, including films, television films” with the words “information containing objects of copyright and related rights”.

Under the whole law, the wording has been changed that way. What to conceal, the phrase "information containing objects of copyright and related rights" is the main reason for changes in the law. A copyright object can be a huge list of works, which includes, but is not limited to, the following:

• literary works;
• dramatic and musical dramatic works, screenplays;
• musical works with or without text;
• audiovisual works (cinema, television and video films, slide films, filmstrips and other films and television productions);
• paintings, sculptures, graphics, design, graphic stories, comics and other works of art;
• photographic works and works obtained by methods similar to photography;
• geographical, geological and other maps, plans, sketches and plastic works.

Now literally can close the site for anything. Absolutely for any element on the page: text, graphics, video, whatever. Simply put, from July 1, 2014, copy-paste is officially outlawed.

Everything about everything is a working day.

“Within 1 working day from the moment of receiving from the hosting provider ... the owner of the information resource is obliged to limit access to such information. In case of failure or inaction of the owner of an information resource, the hosting provider ... must limit access to the relevant information resource no later than the expiration of 3 business days from the date of receipt of the notification. "

“The execution list, by definition, on the preliminary provision of protection of copyright and related rights shall be issued to the recoverer no later than the day after the day on which such a determination was made.”

Telecom operators

Within a day of receipt of information about an information resource containing copyright and related rights objects or information necessary for obtaining them (apparently, it refers to websites of third parties) ... which are distributed without authorization of the right holder or other legal basis, the communications operator ... is obliged to restrict access to illegally posted information in accordance with a judicial act that has entered into legal force. If a telecom operator does not have the technical ability to limit access to illegally placed information, the telecom operator is obliged to limit access to such information resource.
Thus, the entire website is blocked. telecom operators will go the easy way.

From the explanatory note to the bill:

“The draft law clarifies the mechanism of blocking of illegal content by the operator. The telecommunications operator blocks not a specific place in the content, but all illegal content in accordance with the judicial act that has entered into force. In the event that a telecom operator does not have the technical ability to limit access to illegally placed information, the telecom operator is obliged to limit access to such an information resource. ”
