The Russian government has banned the sale of audio, video and software discs from trays and tents. As ITAR-TASS reports, the corresponding decision was signed by Mikhail Fradkov. In addition, from now on the disks, the name of the manufacturer, the number of the license, the technical characteristics of the carrier, the information about the owner of the copyright or related rights, the registration number of the computer program (if the disk with programs), if they were registered, must be indicated.
The discs with the films should indicate the number and date of issuing a rental certificate, the name of the film, the country and the studio where it is shot, the main data (genre, abstract, information about the author of the script, director, composer, main roles and other information), the duration of the film, age restrictions.
Before putting on the discs on the shelf, sellers are required to check the integrity of the packaging of each disk, as well as mandatory requirements. "Trading halls must be technically equipped in order to provide the buyer with the opportunity to check the quality of purchased copies of audiovisual works, phonograms, programs for electronic computing machines and databases," the resolution says.
