RSP Nikita Mikhalkov will receive permission to collect a "tax on the pig" for another 10 years
The Russian Union of Rights Holders ( RSP ), Nikita Mikhalkov, will have the opportunity to extend state accreditation for the so-called "tax on discs." It is about collecting 1% of the cost of consumer electronics for copying movies and music. According to the deputy head of the RSP Andrei Krichevsky, the commission’s decision was made on Friday. Accreditation for five years, the union received in 2010.
In total, there are four organizations in Russia that are accredited by the Ministry of Culture for the collective management of copyright - the RSP, the Russian Authors' Society ( RAO ), the All-Russian Intellectual Property Organization ( WIPO ) and the partnership for the protection and management of rights in the arts ( UPRAVIS ). RSP collects contributions in favor of authors and performers of phonograms from manufacturers and importers of household appliances: tape recorders, telephones, radios, CDs, and so on. RAO collects contributions from television channels, radio stations, cafes, and any public institutions where musical works are played in favor of the authors. WIPO collects contributions from performers and phonogram manufacturers from the same companies and sites. UPRAVIS collects contributions in favor of the authors for the resale of works of art and manuscripts.
In July, the RSP, RAO, and WIPO decided to unite the Russian Authors' Society of Culture into the Trade Union. The new trade union will have to re-participate in the competition for accreditation.

In late July, it became known that the regulatory functions of the Ministry of Culture could be transferred to the Federal Service for Intellectual Property (Rospatent). Recently, it was headed by former Deputy Minister of Culture Grigory Ivliev. However, for the time being, accreditation and other copyright powers remain with the Ministry of Culture. The decision on the accreditation of the RSP must be made within five days from the date of the meeting of the accreditation commission, and during this time the authorities are unlikely to transfer to Rospatent, RBC reports .
