The Ministry of Digital Development of Russia denied the information, which allegedly offered to exempt those who use unlicensed software from liability. This was reported to the department.

“Ministry informs that it did not make proposals for exemption from liability for the use of unlicensed software, and currently does not support them. The Ministry of Digital Development plans to discuss this issue with the Ministry of Economic Development,” the text says.

At the same time, the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov said, speaking about what Russia’s response to “economic banditry” would be, that “Russia will somehow resist this economic banditry, choosing those measures that will best suit our interests” , according to RIA Novosti.

Earlier, Kommersant reported that the Russian authorities were allegedly considering the option of partially removing liability for the illegal use of software. According to media reports, it is proposed to abolish criminal and administrative liability for the use of software unlicensed in Russia, “belonging to the copyright holder from the countries that supported the sanctions.”
