The decision of the Moscow City Court blocked the access to twenty channels of the satellite operator NTV-Plus, which were broadcasted via card sharing service Zargacum.net.
As Rambler reports, on June, 11 the company NTV-Plus appealed to the Moscow City Court, requesting to take measures on protecting copyright of the operator’s TV channels. In particular, it refers to TV channels like NTV Plus Sport, Kinoklub, HD Kino, NTV-Plus 3D, NTV Plus Nashe Kino, etc.
Since May, 1 of this year the amendments to the anti-piracy law of the Russian Federation came into force, aimed primarily at expanding the law jurisdiction for any content except photos. According to the court decision, such content should be eliminated within 3 days.
For reference: Card sharing is literally translated from English as to share a card, representing a mode of access to view any satellite pay-TV channel. The access is provided via a single subscription to several consoles, given that they are interconnected via a common local network, what requires installing special software.
