Russia is obviously trying to get used to living with sanctions rather than ending the war. We told you before that Russian billionaires try to hide crypto money and all their other assets in the United Arab Emirates and invest in real estate in the country. The Russian people are currently trying to protect themselves from ongoing and future sanctions, but these efforts show that Russia is not very intent on ending the war.
After the restrictions imposed by many platforms on social media and by Russian President Vladimir Putin, the Russian public is trying to access social media platforms in various ways. After the access restrictions, Twitter also developed a site on the dark web, allowing the Russian people to access the platform. The Russian people are currently facing many restrictions and these seem to increase with each passing day. This causes the government to take new decisions. Today, it has been suggested that the Russian Government may take a very interesting and reactionary decision.
Russian Government can legalize pirated software
After the withdrawal of many game and movie companies from Russia, the government made a new decision to prevent the public from being further affected by these sanctions. Turns out he was going to get it. According to this law, Russian people will be able to legally download pirated games and movies from the internet without being penalized. Last week, Microsoft announced that Activion Blizzard and Epic Games were also suspending their services in the country, joining major technology and software companies such as Sony / PlayStation, Twitch, Netflix, EA Games and Witcher.
The Ministry of Economic Development of Russia has enacted a law called “Priority Action Plan for Ensuring the Development of the Russian Economy as a result of the Pressure of Foreign Sanctions”. This new law, which was enacted to protect the economy, may cover pirated software along with many other areas. This means that even though the copyright holders of the countries supporting the sanctions, the Russian Federation will have no responsibility for the use of this software without a license.
If such a law is actually enacted, it means that the Russian people can pirate games published by US companies like EA without legal penalty. However, some reports say that the law is intended to help Russian businesses that use Microsoft and Apple software rather than the movie and gaming industry. It is questionable how useful Russia’s software piracy regulations will be for companies, as such software relies on subscriptions connected to the cloud.
