OREANDA-NEWS  The number of illegal resources with media content (books, movies, music) in the first half of the year increased by 20% year-on-year, according to TelecomDaily. Piracy is mainly growing in terms of Western films, not Russian ones, according to official online cinemas. Digital book services believe that the growth in their category was provoked by the late accession to the anti-piracy memorandum. At the same time, the authorities are looking for ways to return foreign content to legal sites, but it has not yet been possible to agree on this.

Kommersant got acquainted with the research data of the information and analytical agency TelecomDaily based on a survey of more than 10 thousand users of video services in the first half of the year. It follows from it that the number of pirated resources exploiting media content (movies, TV series, books, music) increased by about 20% year-on-year in the first half of the year. The agency did not provide absolute figures. Earlier, TelecomDaily noted that citizens began to use legal video services more actively and pay for them.
