Chiefs of major Russian movie companies have replied to Klimenko. They published open letter, where their position has been explained. Chiefs believe Klimenko made bold mistake. “Let’s think about together… Ghoul is deadman rising from a tomb, drinking blood of people and undermining household. Let us not concern such “ghouls” like Steven Allan Spielberg, Francis Ford Coppola, Coen brothers…” Authors of letter expressed hope that Klimenko will bring his apologies for careless dropped phrase and right holders will accept them kindly. They are sure, Klimenko is ashamed of himself. They also stated their position in relation to piracy.

Right holders, demanding moneys and protecting their interests, can be called greedy ghouls said German Klimenko. In such way he commented permanent blocking of Rutracker.org due to right holder’s complaints. In tough time it is necessary to bend before customers’ needs and bring prices down, he believes.

At the meeting of governmental council on cinema support Prime Minister Dmitriy Medvedev discovered permanently blocked web-site Rutracker.org is available for visitors. He has visited web-site from his personal iPad. First Channel’s CEO Konstantin Ernst claimed current applying mechanisms implemented to fight internet-piracy don’t work, after blocking of web-site under court order illegal copies promptly appear on dozens of other web-sites. Court orders also are not always executed. He said “Rutracker is permanently blocked in Russia, but it is still available.”

At the meeting with participation of Roskomnadzor it was decided to draft a law in order to block copies of pirate sites on other domains. In Russia, as well as in other countries, blocked websites move to other domains. Under current law Moscow court has no opportunity to block new domain address (mirror) of pirate website automatically. If blocked web-site moves to new domain, right holders must apply for blocking again. Therefore right holders together with Roskomnadzor decided to develop draft law which equates mirror sites to blocked sites as reported izvestia.

Russian Roskomnadzor’s CEO Aleksandr Zharov predicts business of torrent-tracker Rutracker will be over in few months. “I believe it is turning point. Advertisers will go away, and as long as Rutracker is original mass media its business will be over in few months. Efficacy of blocking and decrease of traffic achieved 75%. Administration of website should make its choice – to be good guys or operate under different domain name.” – he said during its lecture in Moscow State University.

RBC published main points of draft law and explained what it means and how it can be implemented. Russian ministry of communication has developed amendments to laws “About communication” and “About information, its protection and informational technologies”. Main purpose of this draft law is control over internet traffic. If the draft law will be adopted, a new official state register of IP addresses (for Russian segment of internet – RUnet) can appear.

As reported Vedomosti, Russian ministry of communication (mincom) designed draft law about state control over routs of internet traffic in Russia. This draft law contains amendments to laws “About communication” and “About information, its protection and informational technologies”. This document should realise Russian president’s instruction given as a result of meeting organised by Russian Security Council in 2014. At this meeting outcomes of tests on stability of Russian internet and questions of its autonomous work have been discussed: in case of emergency whether Russian segment of internet will function even if it will be cut off from worldwide internet.

Deputy of CEO “STS Media” Sergey Petrov stated Russian companies can uphold restrictions for video streaming market in Russia. It is necessary for competition with online service Netflix. Russian companies can propose their amendments in Russian law – restrictions designed to support development of Russian video streaming market. “STS Media” underlined, that Petrov stated so as president of Media-communication alliance, but not as representative of company. “It is true, companies must have incorporated representative offices in Russia, become tax residents, turnover of payments, receiving from customers, should pass through Russian taxable base and the country could receive opportunity to improve domestic content” – said Petrov.
