Roskomnadzor insisted on resolving the issue out of court, but the representatives of the torrent tracker refused to negotiate.
Next Monday will submit a claim for copyright holders lifetime blocking popular torrent tracker RuTracker.org. Earlier Roskomnadzor invites administrations torrent tracker and its opponents to the negotiating table. This would make it possible to settle the disputes out of court and not to block one of the most popular websites in Russia (1 million visitors per month), but RuTracker representatives refused to meet. Rights holders felt ripped off talks, according to the portal “Province” with reference to the “News”.
“We have offered a platform for the organization full-time ministry representatives RuTracker.org negotiations with copyright holders. Unfortunately, the owners of the resource have not shown any active interest in this kind of negotiation or to meet the requirements of right holders. Therefore, it is logical and natural that the rights holders believe RuTracker’om the declared willingness to cooperate no more than cunning, – says Vadim Ampelonsky representative Roskomnadzor. – It is obvious that the situation is moving in the judicial plane. ”
According to the National Federation of the music industry (NFMI) Leonid Agronova, the lawsuit will be filed by one of the companies included in NFMI (members include Sony Music, Universal Music, Warner Music, EMI, Gala Records, Navigator Records). Despite the fact that negotiations with the Roskomnadzor RuTracker failed, the supervisory agency still hope that the representatives of the torrent tracker will think again.
“Opportunities to reach an amicable agreement with the owners of the resource from the left, and we expect that the administration will take RuTracker concrete and active steps to realize this opportunity,” – said the representative office Vadim Ampelonsky.
According to entered into force on 1 May 2015 extended version of the anti-piracy law, the Moscow City Court of First Instance considers the claim for posting on the movies, books, music and software. This court at the request of the right holder has to take a decision on pre-trial protective measures – making pirated resource blacklisted Roskomnadzor. This page is a site where materials are placed illegally, is available for Russian Internet users. For customers some providers become unavailable entire site wrongdoing. The law also provides for the procedure for “lifelong” Lock site – for relapse.
“This exponential flogging may slow down the development of the pirate industry in Russia. You can arrange only if RuTracker remove all pirated content from its website and will introduce strict moderation. But then it would no longer be RuTracker, – says the chairman of the cluster “Media” Russian Association of Electronic Communications, CEO of online cinema Tvzavr Marina Surygina. – Therefore, the cluster will closely monitor the further occurrence of the tracker – on sites with different names – and to block them. ”
Add that in April last year, the members NFMI filed lawsuits against the social network “VKontakte”. They demanded the protection of exclusive rights to the phonogram and compensation for the damage suffered. The total amount of the claims amounted to 51 million rubles. As a result, the court ruled that “VKontakte” to pay compensation should not be, but is required to use the technology of “digital fingerprint” that will not allow downloading illegal content to the site, if the owner will submit the appropriate treatment in the social network.
