ROI launched a petition to cancel the implementation of the concept of "anti-piracy" collection in RuNet

The Russian Public Initiative portal published a petition to “Cancel the implementation of the concept of the Russian Union of rights holders on the introduction of an anti-piracy collection on the Internet.”

The rationale for this initiative states that “such a tax does not comply with the legislation of the Russian Federation, since the majority of users will have to pay tax for the content that they do not consume. Such tax deductions will be made not in the interests of the entire population of the Russian Federation and not even in the interests of all Russian Internet users, but in the interests of a limited group of individuals. In addition, there will be no guarantee that right holders will actually receive any deductions from this tax. There is no way to determine exactly what proportion of tax each right holder of a work of art should receive. It is obvious that an agency uncontrolled by society will have the ability to arbitrarily manage financial resources, which will lead to numerous abuses and financial scandals. ”

And there is.
Both the Internet industry and the active network public and a number of ministries and even individual organizations of rightholders oppose such an attempt to introduce a new burden on the Internet space in Russia and, united in a single coalition , published their position and sent a corresponding letter to the President of the Russian Federation.

The rightholders-initiators (RSP) claim that everyone misunderstood everything , they just want to collect 300 rubles from each Internet user per year, which is only $ 860,000,000.
What is comparable with the revenue of Yandex and Mail.Ru.

So, friends, if you understand everything as it should - this initiative is waiting for you .

To everyone's attention! Now you cannot withdraw your vote on the IC; this possibility has been removed to exclude various manipulations. So immediately be attentive to giving your voice.

For those who doubt the effectiveness of resolving issues through such tools, there is a great deal of truth in this .
But I came across this very interesting talk by Ekaterina Shulman (political scientist, lawmaker, columnist for the Vedomosti newspaper) “Civil participation in lawmaking: tools and surrogates” and those who pay attention to this speech for half an hour of their time - understand - why is it still worth using such mechanisms of civic participation.
Highly recommend! ->
