Failed to ban torrents on Russia.
A few months ago, the Russian Government was unconvinced that pirated websites should be excluded at ISP level to effectively combat piracy. Like many other governments before them, the Russians finally admitted that these measures are not as effective as they would have been.
The same Vladimir Putin he said recently, that the legislation adopted last summer and named "Russian SOPA, ”Failed to meet its goals.
"Although we had adopted these solutions for the protection of intellectual property in the film sector, recent analysis has shown that it is not working as effectively as we had hoped," said Putin.
His statement contradicts the previous one. Last January, the Russian government said the law had the expected result and that the number of Internet users buying legitimate content increased by 30%.
The fact that blocking access to websites torrent sites δεν λειτούργησε, δεν αποτελεί έκπληξη, δεδομένου ότι οι χρήστες μπορούν να έχουν πρόσβαση με άλλα μέσα, όπως τα VPNs και τα proxies. Εείναι γνωστό πια, άσχετα το ότι η Τούρκικη κυβέρνηση δεν θέλει να το παραδεχτεί ότι η censorship in dianetwork not working.
The issue, of course, is that the music and film industries prefer to invest in lobbying rather than trying to provide people with access to legitimate content at affordable prices. This method is much more effective than banning access to torrent sites, as many surveys have shown.
