Yandex asks to attract “pirate” links to Mail.ru Group and Rutube to the case of blocking

In the Moscow City Court, a preliminary meeting was held at the claims of two more TV channels against the Russian search engine, during which the date of the court session was known, and Yandex asked to attract a number of Internet resources to the case of third parties and conduct a technical examination.

On September 27 of the current year, the press service of the Moscow City Court reports , two claims of the Gazprom Medias will be examined by Yandex about the use of the content of television channels in the company's search results:

“Today there was a preliminary meeting on claims“ Parnas Media ”and TV3 against Yandex, the next meeting is scheduled for September 27.
The conversation on the claim of the 2x2 television channel was scheduled for September 19, and the TNT lawsuit was previously left without movement. ”

Earlier, the claims of the Internet company for the use of content were filed by four Gazprom-Media television channels.

In turn, Yandex asked the Moscow City Court to attract as third parties Mail.ru Group, Rutube and other sites whose interests are affected by judicial acts in the case under consideration.

“During the meeting, we presented several petitions aimed at the formation of a complete and reliable evidence base, as well as the determination of the full circle of persons whose participation in the case is necessary for the court to make an legal decision,” said the representative of Yandex.

A petition for a technical examination was also filed. “The expert opinion will help the court to understand complex technical details explaining the principle of searching for the video and the impossibility of fulfilling the requirements presented to us,” Yandex explained.

The company said that they are working on a decision to strengthen the fight against piracy in Runet and will soon submit their proposals. “Now we are actively developing a solution that will really improve the situation with the fight against piracy in Runet. Soon we will be able to talk about our developments, ” said the representative of Yandex.

Effective tools for the fight against piracy “must meet the principles of transparency and equality to all market participants,” the company said.

In August, the TNT, TV-3, 2x2 and Super television channels sent a statement to the Moscow City Court with a request to take preliminary interim measures for Yandex due to the fact that the search results of Yandex offered references to the pirate sites, where, as the press service of the media holding, they were “non-religious, were“ non-religious ” The series “Home Arrest”, “Outside the game”, the show “Mystical Stories” and the animated series “Caution, Earthlings”. ” The press service of the Internet company has repeatedly stated that these requirements are illegal and unfounded, contradicts the prevailing practice.
