MOSCOW, July 27. / TASS /. The Moscow City Court ordered Roskomnadzor to temporarily block access on the YouTube portal to trailers for the video game Atomic Heart, which covers the song “Music Bound Us” by the group Mirage. This is indicated in the judge’s decision, the text of which TASS has read.
“To compel the Federal Service for Supervision in the Field of Communications, Information Technology and Mass Media and others to cease creating technical conditions which ensure the placement, distribution and any other use of the phonogram “Music connected us” published on the Internet information and telecommunications network on the pages of the YouTube portal “, – said the court decision.
The decision was taken as part of interim measures over a dispute between the founder of the Mirage group, Andrey Lityagin, and Google LLC, owner of YouTube. The court set a period of 15 days for Lityagin to file a declaration on request, within the framework of which a blocking decision was taken. If this is not done, Google has the right to request that the block be removed.
Earlier in the media, there was reports that the Atomic Heart trailer, shown as part of the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase, was blocked after a complaint from YouTube channel Studio Mirage. In turn, the company said the rights to that track had been purchased and the song had been used legally, but a representative of the group had reportedly requested to repurchase the rights.
