Anti-piracy law: new and results
On August 1, 2013, the so-called “anti-piracy law” came into force, which provides for the ability to quickly block websites at the request of the film owner.
From May 1, 2015, the law will also be extended to music, books and software.
Moreover, it provides for the obligation of the site owners to indicate on the site belonging to him information about their name, location and address, and e-mail address for submitting a claim of violation of rights before going to court.

The site owner has the right to place on the site a form through which it will be possible to notify the site administration of the alleged violation.
Access to a site on which there has been repeated unlawful placement of someone else's intellectual property can be permanently limited without the possibility of removing this restriction.
Since 2013, the Moscow City Court has been considering applications to block websites that host movies without the consent of the copyright holder, and claims from copyright holders about the prohibition of placing films without their permission.
On the official website of the court, you can fill out a special application form for blocking, which must be signed with an electronic digital signature.
The statistics testifies to the increase in the number of filed applications for blocking sites in case of detection of illegally placed films.
However, the numbers do not allow us to talk about scale, which means low activity among copyright holders.
1. In 2013, 77 applications for blocking websites were filed.
2. In 2014, 155 applications for blocking websites were filed.
3. In 2015, 28 applications for blocking websites were filed.
From May 1, software owners will also be able to block websites, which, according to the legislator, will simplify the process of protecting their software.
My opinion, as an expert in intellectual property, is that these provisions of the law will only lead to the fact that the "violators" will find ways to circumvent these norms of the law.
From May 1, 2015, the law will also be extended to music, books and software.
