Do Flipboard / Instapaper violate Russian law?

Question

Law in IT

Subject. Do all RSS readers and programs like Flipboard / Instapaper, etc., placed in the App Store / Google Play violate our Russian legislation. In fact, all of them allow you to view someone else's content inside them in a modified version, while not quoting (not always, but usually) the source of the content, etc.

Answer 1

RSS is provided by the authors for exactly this purpose, and that is the purpose of this standard. The authors deliberately implemented this protocol.

Answer 2

No. The program is not a subject of law, therefore it cannot violate the law. The law can be broken only by the person who creates or uses the program.
Since the law does not establish a ban on the creation of programs intended for the lawful use of works (or other protected results of intellectual activity), but which can in some cases be used for illegal purposes, the authors of such programs do not bear responsibility for the fact of their creation (such a ban , however, is set for malicious programs, the definition of which is given in Article 273 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, and programs for neutralizing technical means of protecting copyright or related rights - Articles 1299, 1309 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation).

Answer 3

Although not a lawyer, I do not see the laws that she could violate. From a legal point of view, the RSS reader does not media in any way, respectively, it should not be anything to anyone as such and should not be regulated by anything, otherwise it’s not far before they start regulating empty sheets of paper, so God forbid they don’t write on them that something that has already been written by someone. Moreover, RSS readers read what is already in the public domain
