Dreamtorrent is dead. Long live Rutracker ?!

Friday. Evening. Looking through the news.

Suddenly stumble upon a statement by the head of the Association for the Protection of Copyright on the Internet. Mr. Oleg Kolesnikov declares that Dreamtorrent Corp. - a Seychelles company, listed in a number of registries as the owner of Rutracker.org, is closed by the authorities at the place of registration.

And I understand that this is a thick hint of the imminent death of the largest torrent tracker Runet ...





On CNews you can read a review article by Vladislav Meshcheryakov on this issue ( dated 05.16.2014 ). Below is just a squeeze out of it.



According to Mr. Kolesnikov, registration of Dreamtorrent in the Seychelles was canceled in 2013 due to non-payment of taxes. As evidence, the Copyright Protection Association on the Internet published an extract from the Seychelles Register of foreign companies about Dreamtorrent, where the line “company status” is “struck off” (struck off).

The editors of CNews emphasize that they sent representatives of the rutracker a request to comment on Kolesnikov’s statement about the termination of the registration of the Seychelles company Dreamtorrent. But according to good tradition, the owners of the tracker are all silent for the third day.

With this post, I would like (among other things) to ask the representative of the TRU on Habré ( rutracker ) to somehow respond to the statements of Mr. Kolesnikov.



And then, against the background of loud statements by the deputy head of Roskomnadzor, they say, tomorrow we can block Twitter or Facebook in Russia for a few minutes , and involuntarily you begin to remember that same anecdote .



I also ask you to pay attention to the current situation of all those involved in the creation of the wonderful “ RuTracker.org ” distribution base . Especially I appeal to J_o_k_e_R . In my opinion, it's time to update the database, while the tracker is still (pah-pah) alive. Because all the same Oleg Kolesnikov in early January 2014, said that he was preparing a lawsuit against Rutracker.org. Attempts to negotiate with the owners of the tracker sort of took place. As a result, the Flibusta and Librusek backups were even cut out on the TRU. But, as they say, "how many wolves do not feed ...". If “it comes down to business,” the head of the Association for the Protection of Copyright on the Internet said, “then several thousand positions need to be removed.” In general, there is still a complaint about the audio tracker with regards to audiobooks, as well as the netenka of Darya Dontsova and “other literature” (as Kolesnikov gracefully put it).



To summarize, CNews editors write:

After canceling the registration of Dreamtorrent, the owner of Rutracker.org does not exist de jure, the site is nobody's, says Kolesnikov. The head of the Association hints that this situation threatens the existence of the site. According to him, only in May 2014, at the request of AZAPI, ICANN blocked four sites whose owners refused to identify themselves: e-lib.info, mk-lib.net, bookza.org and ruknigi.net.



Interestingly, in an effort to block the "piracy" distribution of literature, AZAPI refuses to resort to the legislative levers of influence on the sites of Runet that have appeared over the past year.



According to Kolesnikov, he wants to create a universal tool to combat "piracy": "we are interested in an effective operating mechanism applicable to any site, and not crutches, patches and forceful methods of influence."

I ask pardon for a non-subbottom post, but the sooner the situation becomes clearer, and the mechanism for replenishing the distribution base of distributions starts, the calmer I fall asleep on Monday night.
