Rutracker.org, the world’s largest Russian-language torrents website, has deprived copyright holders of the ability to delete illegal downloads, the IT-website Roem.Ru reported Tuesday.
“It has been announced officially (…) that all CNA-accounts [which granted copyright holders the authority to delete links to illegal downloads] have been switched to regular user mode,” Oleg Yashin from the intellectual property protection association Russian Shield said.
Rutracker’s move came in response to a Moscow City Court order to shut down the website permanently, which came into effect Tuesday.
