Russian producer of television and film production, the group of companies "Amedia" is going to sue the social network "VKontakte" for 30 million users of piracy. Chapter «Amedia» Alexander Akopov at the round table dedicated to the fight against piracy, announced its readiness to sue both the administration as well as with users, according to "RIA Novosti».

The right holder is not difficult to guess, I am dissatisfied with the rampant piracy in a social network where you can find a variety of unlicensed copies of movies, TV shows and music. Apparently, a group of companies is ready to sue not only with the administration of the resource, but also with the pirates malicious users.

"This 30 million criminals, [next], these partners are known, but 30 million can not be put in jail, but 10 thousand - you can. We are able to file a lawsuit on behalf of the 22 largest companies in the network "VKontakte" - said Akopov.

But that's not all: according to Akopova at least five service providers are "intermediaries» Vkontakte.ru distributing piracy. "Providers we do not go to jail. Although I have made in the criminal law would be amended, which is not there, so as not planted poor boys "- said Akopov, meaning" poor boy "users of the resource, which he himself described as" criminals ».

"Amedia" satisfied to compensation in the amount of $ 100 million - money holders and do not really need, and they are willing to sacrifice them for the improvement of the national police.

As for the "contact", the representatives of the social network of the lawsuit is heard nothing, so do not comment on the situation. We only recall that this is not the first claim to the rights holders' bastion of piracy in RuNet ": RTR going to sue resource for videos uploaded by users. But it is not happened - in April 2010, lawyers of the social network failed to prove that they were not responsible for the actions of those who have tamed.

"We - a law-abiding company," - said at the time the creator of "In Touch" Pavel Durov.

This is either a PR, or another attempt to "scare»?
Since then it clearly will not do.
