According to him, it is very easy to deceive the law here: you just need to change the domain. "If legislators had previously consulted with the industry, they would have been explained that blocking a domain for such resources is absolutely irrelevant," said Vladimir Putin's adviser.
According to him, there is no difficulty in changing the domain. In particular, in the United States it costs about $ 7-8, "if the domain zone is .com," said the presidential adviser.
Klimenko also urged to look for other ways to combat piracy on the Internet. “Different countries approach differently, for example, in my opinion, in Germany, if memory serves, or in America, fines come for downloading illegal content. Are we ready for such a technology, for such an attitude towards people - I, for example, would not advise yet, ”he stressed.

Earlier on January 22, the decision to permanently block RuTracker came into force. The documents will be submitted to Roskomnadzor on January 25. The resource will stop working only after that. On January 19, the decision to permanently block the torrent tracker Rutor.org, as well as 11 other sites, came into force.
