The rightholders of Russia have developed a new bill, the essence of which is the punishment for a story about possible ways to bypass site locks,
writes Slon. Russian rightholders propose to fine not only for instructions on circumventing blocking sites, but also on advertising, propaganda or another kind of call for circumventing blockages. The size of the fine for citizens will be from 10 to 50 thousand rubles.
The text of the bill has already been
posted on the website of the Association for the Protection of Copyright on the Internet (AZAPI). The working group of Roskomnadzor approved this document.
The size of the fine for officials is proposed to enter in the amount of from 50 to 100 thousand rubles. If the company is guilty, then you will have to pay from 100 to 300 thousand rubles. According to AZAPI, Roskomnadzor will soon consider the bill and put it on the agenda of the State Duma.
A few days earlier
, a meeting
was held between the right holders and representatives of Roskomnadzor, where a decision was taken to draft a bill equalizing the “mirrors” and the blocked resources themselves. According to Alexander Akopov, the president of the Amedia film company, it was already high time for the term “mirror of the site” to be defined by law, which will help the courts decide on such resources. If amendments are proposed and accepted, the courts will be able to automatically block the mirrors of already blocked sites.

Due to the fact that the term “site mirror” is not spelled out in the law, the Moscow City Court
refused to make a decision on blocking copies and mirrors of the Rutracker torrent tracker.
