Russian Firms Don’t Think Themselves Responsible For Web Piracy
Russia’s leading Internet players are not responsible for illegal downloads as the Internet has expanded widely in Russia over the last years, with Russian-language blogging and social networking sites attracting millions of users.It is becoming really hard for the service providers to control the illegal content distribution.
According to the firms they have done whatever was in their power to prevent copyright infringements.They have urged to change the outdated laws to have better control over it.
Google Russia,Yandex and other top russian internet service providers have a common view that it is reposibility of the users to understand how they use internet.They should know what they are uploading and downloading.
Fadeeva says that the position of web giants is not opposed to that of copyright holders, and they are open for cooperation.
“We are open to dialogue and prefer not to use aggressive means to solve these problems. Some schemes have been working successfully for a while now. For example, when an author complains to a web platform that’s hosting his material illegally, it gets deleted,”Fadeeva said.
