On May 1 of this year, an addition to the so-called anti-piracy law comes into force. According to the addendum, the law now applies not only to video, but to all other types of content, except photos. A few days ago, the first applications were filed for an expanded anti-piracy law, writes RBC. Applications were filed by Warner Music Russia subsidiaries - CJSC “SBA Music Publishing and S.B.A. Production.

Already on May 19, the Moscow City Court made the so-called definition of one of the statements relating to the site pleer.com.

Now Roskomnadzor has to establish contact with representatives of the site within three days, demanding the removal of content that violates copyrights. If the administration of the resource does not remove the relevant materials, the site will be blocked. In the case of pleer.com, the copyright holder requested that the song “Half” be deleted by the Artik & Asti group. In addition, the Moscow City Court issued a similar decision regarding the Rutracker website, which also hosts the compositions of the Artik & Asti group.
