The first conversation on this case will take place on September 27, follows from information in the electronic database of the Moscow City Court.
In 2019, the Rambler Group acquired exclusive rights to broadcast the English Premier League football matches in Russia, the platform for this is the online cinema Okko. The contract is signed for a period of three years.
According to the materials, earlier the Rambler Group filed a lawsuit with the court on the adoption of interim measures against sites that distribute, in the opinion of the copyright holder, illegal content, as a result of which on August 13 the Moscow City Court ordered the Federal Service for Supervision in the Field of Communications and Information Technologies to restrict access to 15 such resources, including Odnoklassniki . According to existing procedures, in case of failure to comply with the requirement of Federal Service for Supervision in the Field of Communications and Information Technologies to remove illegal content, the agency would be obliged to block access to the entire site.
According to the Odnoklassniki press service, the content was already blocked at the time the resource received a notification from Federal Service for Supervision in the Field of Communications and Information Technologies on this situation.
At the same time, according to media reports, Rambler Group explains the filing of the lawsuit by the fact that the company was unable to agree with Odnoklassniki on blocking content. According to the Rambler Group, the social network site doesn't have effective mechanisms for blocking violators, which makes the work of deleting content pointless, and in the course of the court case, the company will demand the data of the streamers themselves and the administrators of the groups that host such content in order to hold them accountable.
