American film company has filed a lawsuit against 16 Russian torrent trackers

Film Company Warner Bros. Entertainment filed a lawsuit in the Moscow city court and demanded to stop the release of the movie “Entourage” on 16 Russian torrent trackers – Bobfilm.net, Kinozadrot.net, Kinokrad.net, Kinomassa.net, BigCinema.tv, My-hit.org, NNM-Club.me, Tushkan.net, Kino-Serial.net, Kinozal.tv, Kinoprosmotr.net, Kinogo.co, Wood-Film.ru, Zerkalo-Rutor.org, 8films.net, Rutor.org. This follows from the text of the claim of the American company.

The Moscow city court has satisfied the claim, having decided to take preliminary injunctive relief to the pages of those sites that host this film. Before a lawsuit, representatives of Warner Bros. sent request these resources about how to remove unlicensed content, but received no reply. In court Warner Bros. Entertainment was represented by the company Webkontrol, “Vedomosti”.

This is the first time the American film company, not a Russian representative, have used Russian anti-piracy law, said the lawyer Webkontrol Lina said.

According to her, Warner has no plans to seek a court life lock sites. The goal of Warner in this case – receiving court decisions, which will require sites to remove pirated copies of the film, as well as the prevention of re-placement of the film. “Warner wants the audience who want to see the film, I watched it in cinemas in the best quality and did not see low-quality illegal copy,” says Gevorgyan. “Ultimately we hope that these sites will remove illegal content, and will comply with the Russian legislation in their activities,” she adds.

Anti-piracy law, which gives the owners the ability to achieve operational block sites with pirated content, started working last year, and since may 1 of this year it was extended to the software and other types of content (other than photos). Now the owner of rights to such intellectual property may apply to the court for interim measures – the site is blocked for 15 days; during this time he must either settle the matter with the administration of the site, or file a lawsuit against it.
