There is only business for music

The effect of anti -pirate law can also be distributed on phonograms, Vedomosti write with reference to the Deputy Minister of Culture of Grigory Ivliev. The day before it was reported that in the draft amendments to the law that was prepared by the Ministry of Culture and has already been included in the government, the music is absent .

The official explained the decision not to extend the law to music files with too large sites with pirate phonograms. If they fall under the law, Ivliev noted, this will immediately give rise to many judicial disputes. Therefore, it was decided to wait until the law enforcement practice for other types of content has developed.

However, on Tuesday, at a meeting of the Coordinating Council to protect intellectual property, the Ministry of Culture was criticized. According to the general director of the National Federation of the musical industry Leonid Agronov, the state, refusing to spread the effect of anti -pirate law in the phonogram, gives the pirates a signal that nothing needs to be changed. Agronova was supported by the vice president of the Russian Book Union Oleg Novikov. He proposed to include musical files in the bill, however, to postpone the time for the entry into force of amendments to them, for example, six months after the adoption of the bill.

In addition, amendments introduce a pre-trial procedure for resolving disputes between copyright holders, hosting providers and sites. The copyright holder will be able to apply for a violation of his rights to the hosting provider. He will redirect the appeal to the owner of the site that must delete content. Otherwise, the provider blocks the site. For non -fulfillment of this, the bill provides for a fine of 300 thousand to a million rubles.

The Ministry of Communications has already agreed on the bill, the publication reports. However, the Ministry of Council opposed. The main objection of the department is that the proposed procedure differs from the prescribed in the existing anti-pirate law that protects the rights to television and films.

Anti -pirate law entered into force on August 1. It allows copyright holders to achieve a pre -trial restriction of access to video materials published on the Internet in a copyright violation.

The first decision on the lawsuit of the copyright holders was made on October 21. The Moscow City Court granted the lawsuit of the VGTRK holding against an individual entrepreneur Nazarov. What kind of audio-visual works were discussed in that case, the representative of Roskomnadzra did not specify.

The largest Internet companies in Russia criticized the law, calling it unfinished. The petition with the requirement to cancel the law collected on the website of the swarm 100 signatures necessary for consideration by the State Duma, but was rejected by the Expert Commission of officials.

In September, a deputy from United Russia Robert Schlegel developed a bill that extends the effect of anti -pirate law to all types of intellectual property on the Internet, including music, literature and software.

There is also a project of the unicorn Sergey Zheleznyak. He proposes to clarify the information blocking system. Access to the site page can be closed "if the operator of technical capabilities has", otherwise the entire resource is blocked.

In addition, Ruslan Gattarov, Chairman of the Provisional Commission of the Council of the Federal Council for the Development of the Information Society, is engaged in the information of all proposals. In September, a group of refinement of the bill under the leadership of the Deputy Head of the Department of Internal Policy of the Administration of the President Radiy Khabirov also began work.
