On an existing popular opinion, downloading from the web musical works, software and other objects of copyright free, we are doing inestimable damage purses creators of these works. But often the content producers themselves, refuse to copyright. Bright example is the well-known blogger creator of WordPress themes by Brian Gardner. His themes Revolution enjoyed wild popularity, as the Western, and at home bloggers. Themes cost is not cheap, but Gardner at one point decided to distribute threads on General Public License, that is free of charge. The musicians themselves lay out a new album in sharing services, giving everyone the opportunity to download their songs and not pay a dime for this.
Then how many claims to the final consumer product, and distributors. Musicians often receive money from the concerts, so it is advantageous to pour a new album in the network for free. With the help of the network, they create an army of fans that will go concerts. But with cd sales make labels that are and are major losses on distribution of content over a network. These and similar organizations pushing for laws in every way prevent free access to information under the guise of protecting intellectual property.
We return to the Russian reality. Why did the amendments to copyright law have caused such a storm in the Russian Internet. Based on these amendments, if illegal use of copyright or related rights of professional responsibility. If your computer has such facilities would be in excess of 50.000 rubles, you can plant for 2 years. With more torrents worse, you are still and disseminator, planted a long time. Frightened? There is something to be afraid, even though the text of the amendment and sounds pretty vague. "Allowed without consent of the author or copyright holder and without remuneration Play a citizen, if necessary, exclusively for personal purposes, lawfully disclosed work. That is, you have to prove that you were very necessary given object. Including the need to any pictures by chance saved, or just rest in your browser's cache, you have to prove in court! That's such an interesting amendment to copyright law. Do not be surprised if you stopped in the street and ask, from the phone that this tune.
