Modern Russia met with Peter Jenner, music producer, secretary general of the International Music Manager’s Forum, and former manager of Pink Floyd and The Clash, at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) to hear his views on Russia’s approach to protecting intellectual property online. Jenner attended SPIEF to participate on its “Intellectual Property & Internet” panel, which discussed current trends in the protection of intellectual property globally as well as legislation governing Internet content.
Robust intellectual property laws rely on legal frameworks that guarantee enforcement of intellectual property rights and are essential to a modern economy. However, as new technologies emerge and producer and consumer needs evolve with respect to intellectual property, legislation should evolve as well.
Recently, after consulting some of Russia’s top bloggers and journalists, President Medvedev directed Russia’s communications ministry to draft amendments to standing copyright agreements "aimed at allowing authors to let an unlimited number of people use their content on the basis of free licensing," according to a statement published by the Kremlin.
This approach would echo the framework suggested by Creative Commons, a San Francisco-based non-profit organization that has created copyright licenses that allow owners to share content for free with certain restrictions.
