In Russia, they want to introduce fines for downloading pirated content

And this is not an initiative of AKIT, AZAPI and other amateur associations such as the League of Secure Internet. This is discussed in the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation itself: the Ministry of Culture is discussing the introduction of fines for downloading pirated content . Here are the words of Vladimir Medinsky:

If the tougher version of anti-piracy legislation, adopted throughout the civilized world, is not adopted and will not be executed, it will be possible to put an end to the existence of the author, the creator as an institution capable of earning his bread.

According to the RNS, the vice-speaker of the State Duma Peter Tolstoy also speaks in the same vein:

The Ministry of Culture supports a sharp tightening of anti-piracy legislation, we are developing relevant proposals with the deputies of the State Duma. This was discussed at a meeting with Vice Speaker Tolstoy at an expanded meeting of the committee on culture and the committee on the media last week.

This is serious. True, so far there are no technical details on how the user will download the pirated content, but the immediate prospects of the “Spring Law” and the introduction of the National Provider should be greatly simplified.
It was previously discussed that it is planned to determine downloading by IP-address, as in Germany:

"It is assumed that the definition of downloading, for example, an illegal film will be made by IP, after which a fine will be sent to the violator," a source informed with interdepartmental consultations on this topic told RNS.

Communications Minister Nikolai Nikiforov, at the investment forum in Sochi, spoke on this topic more streamlined:

In general, this is a common world practice. I am not sure that it is necessary to introduce this straightforwardly in the Russian Federation, but this is always the responsibility of both sides. And the one who posted the pirated content, and the one who deliberately consumes it pirately. Responsibility, in principle, should be both there and there. How to do this in the Russian realities - it definitely must be a very careful and progressive process. Lock "mirrors" - we are confident that this will be a very effective way. Copyright collective management reforms - the last two years are being actively discussed. A difficult story, there is no ideal model for any country.
