RuTracker has urged its users to legally contest a recent blockade imposed by Russian authorities. The platform, operated by Dreamtorrent Corp. registered in the Bahamas, faces limited avenues in Russian courts and perceives little potential for success in direct litigation.
Platform's Legal Stance
RuTracker, not planning to appeal the decision itself, explained its challenges. According to a company spokesperson, being both legally and physically outside Russia adds complexity to pursuing actions against Russian regulators. The platform views the option of assistance through its users as a more viable path.
Support for Users
The platform is committed to offering legal guidance to users impacted by the blockade. RuTracker has set up a specialized forum to provide legal advice and support. Additionally, the site plans to host a section with instructions for circumvention techniques, helping users navigate the restrictions.
Potential for Cooperation
While prepared to aid users, RuTracker signals its willingness to engage with copyright holders. The service suggests it is open to reasonable negotiations rather than facing outright bans, pointing to a possible shift toward cooperative conflict resolution with stakeholders.
