Telecommunication operators, who must collect \u201clicence fees\u201d from internet users and pay collected sums of money to the accredited collecting society, could independently decide who must pay in a case of use of content in internet.

In order to create and implement system for analysis of internet traffic very big investment expenditures are necessary \u2013 billions of dollars. And who will bear such expenditures? Internet service providers? Besides, required system is not a guarantee for precise information concerning to used or downloaded content. First of all volume of internet traffic is huge and it grows from year to year. It is impossible to completely \u201csift\u201d all internet traffic. Some part of this traffic is encrypted. Secondly, there are some problems with implementation of \u201ctax remission\u201d. For example, pupils don\u2019t conclude agreement with internet service provider, their parents do it and as a party of agreement on internet access they must pay this \u201cinternet tax\u201d. And how internet service provider in such situation can decide who falls under \u201ctax remission\u201d categories and who does not? Head of Russian State University of Intellectual Property believes that \u201ctax remission\u201d will cut the incomes of right holders, but their introduction is wise step. \u201cIt is better to receive something from internet, rather than nothing\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to Izvestia, Russian Ministry of Culture proposed \u201ctax remission\u201d for students, pupils, pensioners and people with disabilities. \u201cTax remissions\u201d could also apply to schools, universities and medical institutions.
