Few people speak today of “buy film”. Usually either “film” or “downloaded” or a neutral “look” which means the same as downloaded. Meanwhile, experts say that over the last year there was a great change in this matter.
In Russia continue to struggle with “pirates”. Say successfully
So, for example, “Internet Content” has shared a very interesting data. Its representatives argue that the consumption of “torrents” in Russia decreases every year – however, it becomes much more online hits on pirate sites, and because the sources of copies everywhere the same, the victory of the right holders to speak early. So, gathered at the round table showed charts showing how the circuit works the appearance of illegal content in the Internet.
A substantial portion of box office hits appeared online before the us premiere. Oddly enough, between Russian and American premieres of rarely occurring surge of this kind, probably because the films in Russia out almost immediately after the United States. But it occurs as soon as there is a copy more or less decent quality, and then repeated after digital premiere of the picture, and when this copy is in free access.
Sometimes there are exceptions. For example, a huge number of downloads of the film “He – dragon” happened when the Russian media wrote about the success of the film in China. Prior to this, the interest of the audience illegal resources was zero. If the owner is engaged in the systematic “cleansing” of your content, it usually works: the download will start only after the holder ceases to remove the content.

The representative of the company Group-IB proposed to consider “piracy” cybercrime and treats him accordingly. He believes that often it involved hackers and that there are signs of organized crime. He also recalled that when he left season 4 of “Game of thrones” for the week we downloaded 1.5 million people. And when was the premiere of season 5, the network “Vkontakte” for the night after that there were 150 copies of the first series. The total losses of the copyright holders of billions, but it can be countered.
In fact, says a lot of TOP-100 Russian sites for September 2015 and 2016 respectively. In 2015 there was not no legal online cinema, but the “pirate” resource was very high. Now, as a result of “eternal” blocking out retired former leaders of the “torrents”, but there is a new, but with them, got there and legitimate – two, the 74th and 99th place. But it is an achievement, then there will be more.

For this, experts believe, need to do the following: prohibit businesses to advertise on pirate sites because it will make them unprofitable and forcing pirates out of the market. Next, you need to toughen measures against the owners of those sites and a few prison terms and heavy fines, too much narrow this market. From “search engines” to ensure that they are removed from the results of the “search” links to pirate resources. And – to simplify the blocking of websites with illegal content.
The relevant legislation has been drafted for the Ministry of communications and the Ministry of culture of the Russian Federation for consideration the state Duma already in autumn this year. And after the adoption of these laws, the share of “pirates” on the content market will decrease in many times, experts are convinced.
