Russia's Supreme Arbitrazh (Economic) Court refused to reconsider the decision of a lower court dismissing the claim of the major TV company VGTRK against the biggest Russian social network VKontakte. The claim was related to digital copies of a film uploaded to the social network site by its users. The TV company argued that the social network is obliged to take general measures to prevent such infringing uploads for which the network has all necessary technical facilities. The social network argued it is only obliged to remove the infringing content upon receiving a specific request from the copyright owner stating the address where the content is located. VKontakte won the case that may now become precedential for Russia.
