The company claims that it will not be able to calculate them by IP addresses. And secondly, unlike VKontakte, ordinary pirates do not make money on unlicensed content. In addition, the record company estimated losses at 115,000 rubles. However, the social network denies its guilt, stating that the Internet portal is only a platform where users upload content, and they should be held accountable. At the same time, VKontakte refuses to give the plaintiff in court the passport data of users who download pirated content, qualifying it as a violation of the law "On Protection of Personal Data".
Serhii Pavlov, a specialist in the field of Internet Costa Rica Mobile Number List technologies and the technical director of the IT company "Basis-Media", commented on the current situation to "MK": - "VKontakte" has a negative image abroad and is included in the list of distributors of pirated products ("black lists" of RIAA - American Recording Association and USTR). Constant scandals haunt the network for posting counterfeit materials. The management of the social network believes that it does not violate any laws, but claims from Russian and Western rights holders are only growing. "By handing over users' IP addresses, VKontakte essentially removes itself from solving the problem by offering the record company to chase each user individually," Pavlov believes.
It is obvious that there are already too many rights holders dissatisfied with the network and the pressure, and lawsuits will multiply. Legislation in this area in Russia is not regulated in the same way as, say, in the USA or Europe. "Vkontakte" uses this." The most interesting thing, Serhii Pavlov emphasized, is that "it is Vkontakte that earns money in this case, not users." The IT expert gave advice to the readers of "MK" on how not to end up under the "cap": "Do not post the compositions themselves on the Internet, but only links to them - this will protect you from prosecution." It is worth reminding that in January of this year in Russia, for the first time, a case was initiated against a VKontakte user at the request of representatives of the Nikitin record company. The record label complained that the phonograms belonging to it were illegally distributed on the social network.
