What is the current threat for online piracy in the Russian Federation?

Question

Law in IT

Hello!
More and more often I began to see news that some owner of a pirated resource is imprisoned, but ... why is someone imprisoned, while someone's domain is simply blocked?

How is this generally regulated in the Russian Federation?
How do they prove involvement in a particular site?
How can they prove involvement if the domain (and hosting) has confidential information about the owner and is registered outside the Russian legal zone?

And how will the law behave if the site initially contains a ton of pirated content, but the author is ready to constantly comply with the requirements of the copyright holders and consider every complaint?

Answer 3

How is this generally regulated in the Russian Federation?

Legislation, in particular on copyright. You can pull up a lot of articles from different codes - civil, criminal, even tax (if no tax is paid on earnings).
In the case of breakers, law 272 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation still works

How do they prove involvement in a particular site?

Through the owner of the domain, through the hosting tenant. Through resource access logs.
If there is access to financial information (who paid for the domain / hosting), then through them.
The question here is how much that resource needs to be removed and how many rich people it annoys.
There are 4 points how you can take the owners for their Faberge:
1. Someone registered and extended the domain - you can get information about the owner through the registrar. You can get information about payments. You can get the info through the postal service.
2. Someone registered and paid for hosting - similar to item 1.
3. Someone uploaded the program code to the site - through the hoster's logs, then look at the IP and there is a request to the Internet provider
4. Someone climbs into the admin panel - similar to item 3
According to paragraphs 1-4, there can be different people, the task is to pick out one person, and through him to reach the rest.

How can they prove involvement if the domain (and hosting) has confidential information about the owner and is registered outside the Russian legal zone?

If the copyright holder is from the Russian Federation, a request is written from the Russian Federation for information about the host, for information about the owner of the domain, for access logs. If the copyright holder is not from the Russian Federation, then everything depends on where the hosting is and where the domain is.

And how will the law behave if the site initially contains a ton of pirated content, but the author is ready to constantly comply with the requirements of the copyright holders and consider every complaint?

This is all for the time being, sooner or later will be blocked. No matter how torrents.ru flirted with the copyright holders, the domain was divided and they themselves were sent to the RKN-a ban.
