Russia is not only being isolated economically and technologically, but also culturally due to its war against Ukraine. In view of this, the Russian government is trying to ‘get away’ from the sanctions it is suffering and intends to ‘legalize’ piracy.
Or at least that is what some statements suggest. For example, the comment that Russian companies are not obliged to pay the owners of the patents they use.
It should be noted that it would be in the event that they come from countries that have sanctioned Russia. This also extends to their intellectual properties. That is what the Russian newspaper revealed Rossiyskaya Gazeta.
The information comes from Ministry of Economic Development Russian, which with this measure seeks to counteract the actions undertaken by Western companies and governments. The same would apply to the world of film and television.
Who first commented on the matter was the Russian politician Dmitry Ioninwhich pointed out that Russia could unlock the site of torrent Ru Trackerso that the Russians can watch the films of Hollywood most recent.
Big movie companies like Warner Bros., Disney, sony pictures and more have already turned their backs on this country, canceling the premiere of their films. So have popular video-on-demand services.
Piracy would affect not only movies and TV, but also video games
Netflix and Amazon Prime Video they no longer work on Russian territory. That same extends to the world of anime, as Crunchyroll and wakanim they ceased their support and canceled the airing of new episodes.
In addition to cinema, television and other productions, this would also extend to the world of software, and therefore, video games. The problem is that legalizing piracy would cause a lot of problems for Russian consumers in the long run.
Especially since when the war is over, companies could lose all interest in investing in Russia and bringing their content to the country. Some may never have an official presence again.
Regarding video games, more and more of them require connections to Internet to be played Even if they are pirated they could be blocked from the West. The use of VPNs and hacks it would be detected sooner or later, which would cause bans.
microsoft, Sony and Nintendo they have already severed their relations with Russia. mobile games like Pokémon GO they no longer work. The country is becoming more lonely and isolated.
