Roskomnadzor Expands Anti-Piracy Coalition with Book and Music Sectors

The recent statements from Vadim Subbotin, who serves as vice-president of Roskomnadzor, reveal a concrete step forward in the ongoing effort to combat online piracy in Russia. He announced that a formal agreement has been reached to bring representatives from the book industry and music services into the anti-piracy memorandum, signaling a broader collaboration across key cultural sectors. This move was conveyed at an event that gathered a wide spectrum of industry organizations, underscoring the collective will to align technological and legal strategies with the goal of reducing illegal distribution of copyrighted works. The significance of this development lies not only in the entry of new stakeholders but also in the reinforcing of coordinated action between regulators, content creators, and digital platforms to preserve the integrity of intellectual property in the online environment.
