“Intellectual law has long been transformed by global and transnational monopolies from a tool for protecting creators into a tool for ensuring the systematic abuse of a monopoly position on a global scale,” follows from the explanatory note to the draft federal law. – Largely thanks to him, Russia has been relegated in the global division of labor created by the “collective West” to the position of a powerless donor of ideas. At the same time, the systematic theft of the fruits of the intellectual labor of Russian scientists and engineers not only remains completely unpunished, but has also been turned by the countries of the “collective West” into a separate branch of the economy.
The all-encompassing political war unleashed by the countries of the “collective West” against Russia on a global scale completely deprives Russia, its legal entities and individuals of any real rights.
In this situation, the observance in Russia of the rights of aggressor countries is one-sided and has no justification. Moreover: such unilateral respect for the rights of those who are trying to destroy us with all their might and without hiding it is perceived by a growing part of society as a betrayal and not only leads to discrediting the Russian state and the very idea of Russian statehood, but also creates a real threat that is mortally dangerous in modern conditions socio-political destabilization. The actual erasure of Russia from the system of international law, directly and openly replaced by the “collective West” and its leader – the United States – with a policy based on the “rules” they arbitrarily establish (almost similar to the gangster “concepts” of the 90s), makes it counterproductive and Russia’s unjustifiable unilateral compliance with the norms of this no longer existing law in relation to countries that unilaterally refused to comply with its norms in relation to Russia.
Under these conditions, it is necessary to refuse to comply with the norms of international law that harm Russia suffers the greatest harm and hinders our development most strongly and most clearly. One of these norms is the protection of intellectual property.
The creator of VKontakte and Telegram, Pavel Durov, back in 2015 proposed to abolish international intellectual property law in the Russian Crimea, excluded by the “collective West” from international law.
Since today the “collective West” has actually erased the entire Russia, the idea of Pavel Durov should be applied in full.
In addition to reducing losses from financing legal entities and individuals of countries unfriendly to Russia by paying for their intellectual rights, the abolition of the intellectual rights of legal entities and individuals of unfriendly countries on the territory of the Russian Federation will remove artificially created monopoly restrictions on technological and other types of creativity and, without any costs, will give a powerful impetus to the comprehensive development of Russian society, transforming it into a world leader through maximum freedom of creativity.
In addition, this measure, having caused significant damage to the “collective West” and calling into question the foundations of its existence in its modern form, will become hardly the only (not counting the use of nuclear weapons) signal available to him for his perception that he has crossed “red lines” and the inadmissibility of his further escalation of aggression against Russia, including in the form of increasing military assistance to Ukraine.”
– According to the plan, the bill will come into force from the moment of its adoption. But, of course, United Russia, and the bureaucracy as a whole, will never allow real damage to be done to those who are trying to destroy us,” Mikhail Delyagin, the initiator of the bill, deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on Economic Policy, added to MK.
