Restricting access to the entire site, which is spelled out in the current version of the document can be applied only when a potential intruder can not be forced to execute the judgment, according to a company statement.

In addition, the proposed amendment states that the holder may file a complaint in court only on condition that he has notified of the violation of the relevant information broker and he did not respond in a reasonable time. The company also emphasizes that the right holder in the notification should contain its direct link to the disputed material. In the current version of the bill does not require this.

Committee proposes to make the search engines in the scope of the law and out of court to include the offending sites in the register of banned sites and distribute the locking mechanism on the books, articles and photos. “Yandex” has acted against all of these proposals.

If, within three days after applying the resource owner does not remove such materials, the entire site can be locked up until the court has made a decision on the claim. If the court finds the failure of the claims of the authors, the resource will be unlocked.

June 11 document approved Duma Committee on Civil, Criminal, Arbitration and Procedural Law. First Deputy Chairman of the Victor Pinsky told RIA Novosti that the entire rule can take the next week. In the first reading of the bill will be considered on June 14.
