The Internet as a platform brought an opportunity for people to share and sell their content to millions of people worldwide. However, it also brought a problem of digital piracy that shortens income of people that own all rights for stolen digital property. To secure profits of right holders more countries should create and maintain laws that protect copyright and create an environment that stimulates people to support content creators.
The main goal of the thesis is to analyze and present the current state of digital piracy in Russian segment of the Internet. We chose Russian Federation as subject because Russia is one the biggest and notorious copyright infringers. In addition, since we are familiar with Russian language, it will be easier for us to find and analyze articles made in Russian language.
The content of the thesis will show the main channels of distribution of illegal digital content, the trends of digital piracy in Runet and amounts of money right holders lose as well as how much digital pirates earn by illegally sharing digital content.
However, a lot of attention is being paid to the digital market in Russia at the moment and we still consider Russia being a contributor to the fight against global piracy. Local copyright infringement situation is also getting slowly yet steadily better in the region.
