>You're going to love this continuation of the story, /pol/. World Trade Organization wants Russia to regulate US internet too. Anyone still remembers how Ukraine managed to sue demonoid to closure? You will get more websites sued by russians.

>Rights holders require Russian blockings to be extended to users from other countries.
>International copyright lobby considers it useful to extend the influence of Russian "anti-piracy" website blocking to the whole world in order to completely destroy pirated content
>“Blocking pirated websites is not enough,” consider international organizations of rights holders, “Russia should close them.” According to the International Intellectual Property Alliance (IIPA), which includes MPAA, RIAA and other communities representing the interests of the entertainment industry, despite the fact that in recent years the Russian Federation has implemented a wide range of measures to combat piracy, this is all equal is not enough. In their demands, organizations representing the lobby of right-wing traders came to a rather paradoxical conclusion, which was reported by the online edition TorrentFreak.
>There can be no doubt that Russia has one of the most aggressive “anti-piracy” policies in the world. After she became a member of the WTO in 2012, the country fulfilled a number of obligations to protect the rights of authors and take action against violating sites regulated by the organization.
>During recent hearings with the participation of the US Trade Representative, the IIPA acknowledged the progress achieved by the Russian Federation at the moment,
>but the alliance would like to spread Russia's influence on this issue to the Americans:
> “Unfortunately, in recent years, these new procedures and processes have been aimed exclusively at online piracy in Russia. As a result, the problem of international copyright piracy in relation to illegal sites and services that are addressed by users outside Russia remains quite serious and already constant. ”
>The IIPA is confident that the Russian authorities need to use law enforcement agencies to curb the activities of illegal sites and streaming services operating not only in Russia, but also if they are located abroad. Although Russian intervention in the work of the Internet is not always appreciated, in this case it will be welcome. Since the Russian government cannot force American Internet providers to block "pirated" sites, they should be pressured directly by violators. The IIPA would like more criminal cases and courts against pirated resources, while mentioning Rutracker, VKontakte and Sci-Hub as permanent offenders.
>The IIPA insists on applying more serious coercive measures against many infringing websites. "This should be both measures to prevent the violation of intellectual property rights, and the initiation of criminal cases against owners and" operators "of sites that cause significant economic damage to rights holders," writes IIPA.
>In conclusion, TorrentFreak cites a copy of the IIPA report, and also notes: “There is no denying that pirate websites are working in Russia, however, given Russia’s recent progress [regarding anti-piracy], it’s not surprising that Putin and his comrades can now point the finger at the US ". As an example, according to the publication, they can use the well-known pirate site “The Pirate Bay”, which freely works all over the world from the USA-controlled domain “.org”, receiving most of their income from American visitors.
