The major Russian domain provider RU-Center<\/a> has recently frozen the domain of the biggest Russian torrent trackers service Torrents.ru. The investigation committee explained that it was done due to the site's violation of copyright law and illegal distribution of software that was developed by”1\u0421” and Autodesk firms. The Web site has moved to a new location in the .org domain zone.<\/p>\n

The decision to close Torrents.ru is certainly controversial and became one of the major discussion topics in the country. On one hand, many people claimed that it provided unique content that couldn't be found anywhere else and that content exchange is a new cultural phenomenon that should be recognized as evolution of information society.\u00a0 Some bloggers claimed that Torrents.ru is not responsible for the violations since it only provided tracks and didn't distribute the content by itself.<\/p>\n

Other bloggers argued that Torrents.ru was distributing content illegally and those who oppose its closure just want to continue enjoying free and illegal access to information protected by the copyright law.<\/p>\n

One of the main topics that were raised was not the fact that Torrents.ru was closed, but the way the Russian authorities went about the closure. Lenta.ru<\/em> news agency pointed out<\/a> [RUS] that according to the law, RU-Center provider should have given Torrents.ru one month to resolve the issue. However, it decided to close the Web site almost immediately because of the agreement that had been previously reached between the provider and investigation committee.<\/p>\n

The owner of Torrents.ru said<\/a> in an interview to \u201cEcho Moskvy\u201d radio station:<\/p>\n

It was absolutely illegal.\u00a0 We will appeal against it, but in this case it\u2019s not the most important thing. The precedent is created. If you are an owner of domain name in .ru zone, you should know that it can be suspended at any moment by the order of an investigator.<\/div>\n

First, what is this \u201cfreezing the delegation?\u201d I can\u2019t understand \u2013 is there any decision of the court? I am not a lawyer, but from point of common sense, I think that you can close something so fast with so extreme measures only when it poses a threat to security. And what happened here? On February 16, someone wrote some paper and after two days everything is done. Everything is closed. Let\u2019s say that in Russia we have a bad corrupted unfair court, but in this case we had no any court at all.<\/div>\n

In addition, serj-nickel<\/em> claimed that Torrents.ru was the most loyal Russian track torrent service in regard to copyright laws, since it promised to delete any track to content that violates copyright if the creator of content submits a request. Later, a public petition<\/a> to the president, prime minister and the general prosecutor was placed on a petitions Web site. On behalf of Russian Internet-community, the author of petition wrote that the investigation committee went beyond its authority:<\/p>\n

The story with torrents.ru again raises the question: why should we use services from Russian domain providers and .ru domain? Because it's bulls..t. They start checking your passports or come up with some other bulls..t. It's not that all this is a nightmare but one should ask a question: why would I need all those adventures?<\/div>\n

The argument that the .ru domain zone wasn't the place where Internet users could feel confident was expressed by Oleg Rodin, a journalist from Sochi, on a Web site of \u201cEcho Moskvy\u201d radio station.\u00a0 In a blog post titled “‘Olympic sprint' or 'stealing the domain,'” he wrote<\/a> [RUS]:<\/p>\n

The Internet is bowling with frustration due to the prosecution decision to suspend Torrents.ru domain where people could exchange their music, films and computer software. But the elimination of the domain sochi.ru went without any global noise or mass protests.
\nThey just took and removed this web address, and now if you try to visit this Web site, you automatically readdressed to sochi2014.ru portal with content about 2014 Winter Olympics Games, which are supposed to take place in Sochi.<\/div>\n

The story that Rodin mentioned took place at the end of August, 2009. Sochi.ru<\/em> was, indeed, a popular Web portal for the city of Sochi. It provided various kinds of services including news, forums and e-mail. At the end of summer, the Russian Olympic Committee has decided that the expression “Sochi.ru” would be a part of a symbol of the 2014 Winter Olympic Games. As a result, the ownership to Sochi.ru<\/em> was transferred to the Russian Olympic Committee in just a few days. The city portal has been moved to Sochi.com<\/em> and many people lost their Sochi.ru<\/em> e-mail accounts.<\/p>\n

The full story behind the ownership of Sochi.ru<\/em> remains unclear. The administration of the Web site published a comment on its forum that said:<\/p>\n

We should clarify that \u201ctaking property\u201d and other actions that goes against the Russian law did not take place.

However, no official clarification about the nature of the deal has been made. Some people claimed that the owners were paid by the Russian government. The majority of Internet users thought that the Sochi.ru<\/em> administration was forced to satisfy “voluntary” the request of Russian authorities.<\/p>\n

Andrey Vorobiev, head of PR department of RU-Center, clarified<\/a> [RUS] the situation to Cnews.ru<\/em>. He explained that according to the law of Sochi Olympic Games that was approved in 2007, all the symbols related to 2014 Olympic Games, including domain names, automatically belong to the Olympic Committee.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaybe the owner of the Web site [Sochi.ru \u2013 G.A.] was offered some compensation, but this option wasn\u2019t included in the law,” Vorobiev said.<\/p>\n

Most of Sochi.ru <\/em>users believe that the Web site has been actually expropriated by the government. They concluded<\/a> [RUS]:<\/p>\n
