The business opposed rolling certificates for transmission

The bill was presented to the State Duma in December, the head of the Duma Information Policy Committee, Sergei Boyarsky, Senator Andrei Kishas and others. The document suggests that online cinemas will have to receive rental certificates by analogy with conventional cinemas.

At the same time, if in the film or series published on the transmission platform, “materials that discredit traditional spiritual and moral values” are found, then the certificate will not be broadcast, it is deduced from the bill.

What do market participants think? In the RSPP, it is believed that the costs of implementing the initiatives will amount to 1.5-1.6 billion rubles at the same time, and annually 400-500 million rubles will take their maintenance. The very idea of ​​introducing rolling certificates for the transmission in the union was called excess: if 2-3 thousand of these certificates are now issued on average per year, then, after the adoption of the invoice, its number will increase between 15 and 20 times. .

Kinopoisk representative in a conversation with Kommersant said that online cinemas as audiovisual services are already carefully regulated by the State. In IVI, it was considered that the new restrictions would lead to the departure from the audience to illegal sites that no one controls.
