The Verkhovna Rada adopted
in the first reading the draft law on state support of cinematography 3081-d.
The project provides implementation of direct state support of the film
industry following the example of European countries. Among other things, it is about the repayment of some expenditures incurred
in the film production, film development and distribution networks, etc.
The document offers
specific tools aimed at combating piracy on the Internet. If the proposed amendments are supported, copyright owners will be able to
quickly block the illegal video content. It also establishes the liability for
refusal to block illegal content, as well as unsubstantiated claims about its
blocking.
"Project
proponents consulted with the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade of
Ukraine on the copyright protection," noted Deputy Minister Yuliia Kovaliv and
added: "The proposed mechanism of blocking illegal content has the
potential to become an effective tool to combat Internet piracy."
Yuliia Kovaliv added
Ministry's experts to be involved in the preparation of the bill
for second reading.
