By 2018, there may not be any torrent trackers left on the Internet. The Russian government included in the draft of the main directions of its activities the fight against "distribution of illegal content, including the use of torrents." The Ministry of Communications and Mass Communications states that this measure is aimed at combating copyright infringement, which is a mandatory condition for the country's entry into the WTO. However, it is not known how the officials are going to close the distribution of users. The fact is that most of the trackers are located on foreign servers and files with illegal content are not stored on them. They are located on the computers of users who transfer a special technical file to the torrent tracker, which allows you to initiate the download of content directly from the computers on which it is located.
Technically, ISPs can block receiving a Andorra Email List technical file, but the Internet community is also not sitting idly by and is developing a new way to receive a bit stream. Also, operators can be ordered to block all torrent traffic, but it is almost impossible to detect it in an encrypted form. The most plausible method remains self-regulation, i.e. if the right holder finds content among distributions and declares the impossibility of its distribution, then the owners of the tracker delete such distributions. By the way, now it works, oddly enough. The biggest torrent trackers go to meet the legitimate owners of the content, and they themselves prevent the sharing of the same films that have just been released.
But, taking into account the policy of Russian officials, for whom it is easier to take everything and ban it, than to develop a mechanism that does not limit the rights of users, then banning torrents is a battle with windmills. It should not be forgotten that with the help of BitTorrent technology there is an exchange of completely legal content. In addition, in an effort to please representatives of the WTO, the Russian authorities do not take into account that the fight against pirated content is far from rosy. Take the same largest torrent tracker The Pirate Bay, which has already been tried to close. And the server was removed, and the owners were taken to court, but the popularity of the service only grew.
