Russia responds to sanctions with piracy.
The heavy economic sanctions suffered by the Russia due to the conflict in Ukraine they are leading Putin’s government to make drastic choices to try to stem them and one of these seems to be the legalization of hacking or at least, ease the punishment.
“The possibility of lifting restrictions on the use of intellectual property contained in certain goods, the supply of which to Russia is limited, is being considered“the ministry said.”This will mitigate the impact on the market of disruptions in supply chains, as well as the shortage of goods and services due to new sanctions by Western countries.“.
This appears to already be in place according to some Russian media, such as Rossiyskaya Gazeta or City AM, where companies are under no obligation to pay patent holders for the use of intellectual property, from any country that has launched sanctions. This will also touch the “classic” piracy of films, TV series and video games with a serious free way to Torrent.
