Members obyazhut check the license software.

   In the near future, users of pirated computer software, as well as owners of house networks and videohostingov will be fine for violating intellectual property rights, even if they did not know what use kontrafakt. This was on Thursday writes the newspaper Kommersant.
Plenum of the Supreme and Supreme Arbitration courts have prepared a draft decree, which explains entered into force on 1 January 2008 Article 1250 Civil Code ( "Protection of intellectual property rights). The article states that the absence of guilt does not absolve the perpetrator of the need to end the use of It's a also does not preclude the application of the sanctions.
Previously, the penalty would apply only to the innocent legal entities - users It's now the practice extended to ordinary citizens. Supreme and Arbitration courts said that the man who used kontrafakt unconsciously, can only reduce the amount of the fine (if conscious violations range from 10 thousand to five million rubles), but not exempt from it altogether. So now the user can fine, even if he proves that he did not know about the illegality installed on his home computer program.
Also, individuals will be fine for posting and downloading kontrafakta networks and hosting (even if they did not know what post and download pirated copies). True, there are difficulties in tracing the users. However, lawyers believe that these difficulties would be offset by what is now an opportunity to prosecute the owners of networks and hosting. Previously, it was difficult to prove that the owner, for example, Youtube is aware of the appearance of its hosting kontrafakta. Now this is not required.
