Governmental legislative commission upheld draft law aimed to block mirrors of web-sites

If a web-site is available and operating in Russia and does not comply with Russian law, like copyright, it can be blocked. In the context of copyright the blocking relates most likely to torrent sites or pirate sites. But in most cases blocked sites “moves” to new domain and a new mirror of web-site appears. Russian legislators and right holders don’t like it. It means they must do all work again.
