Pirated Content Blocking and Copyright Protection on the Internet

Purpose of reseach. The study is aimed at identifying the types of liability for copyrights and related rights infringement as well as. distinguishing the key feature of the product, thanks to which the object can be registered as a result of the intellectual activity of a particular author. The peculiar features of patent law are emphasised.

Methods. The article proposes a method and an algorithm for making decisions concerning blocking websites which takes into account the peculiarities of copyright infringement in Russia. The authors also propose ways to eliminate such violations: first, it is necessary to clearly define the terms used in the copyright law; secondly, it is important to protect the results of intellectual activity by the state; and, thirdly, it is appropriate to block and / or impose temporary bans on websites that violate legislation.

Results. The analysis of the existing system of copyright showed the following shortcomings in the Copyright Law: - Unclear definition of the concept of ‘information mediator’; unjustified application of the law to bona fide owners of websites and webpages on the Internet; - There are no sanctions against such results of intellectual activities as photographs and trademarks in the legislation, which discriminate right holders and opens up wide possibilities for illegal activities of offenders; - The process of detecting ‘pirated’ products and website blocking is time consuming and too complicated; - Foreign citizens are ‘beyond Russian Copyright Law’, their punishments are not regulated by Russian legislation.

Conclusion. Copyright Law was introduced in the Russian Federation not so long ago, therefore there are some shortcomings and inaccuracies in it, but all of them can be amended. Such a rapid development of information technology makes it more difficult to follow the changes; fraudsters invent more sophisticated ways of making a profit at the expense of other people’s products, which should be immediately prevented.
