    Pirate products still sold in Armenia despite the new law
    Friday 1 April 2011 15:53


    Yerevan/Mediamax/. Pirate products are still sold in Armenia despite
    the fact that the new law on `Compulsory labeling of magnetic audio
    and video carriers with check symbols (holograms)' came into effect on
    March 1.


    Mediamax reports that General Director of `Armauthor' Copyright
    Protection Public Organization Susanna Nersisyan stated today that 90%
    of CD and DVD products supplied in Armenia represent pirate
    production.

    `There is the law, however there are no necessary mechanisms for its
    application', Nersisyan stated. According to her, the main functions
    on applying the new law are on the Tax Service of Armenia, however the
    necessary check symbols for the goods are not ready yet.

    Susanna Nersisyan informed that for legal sale of audio and video
    products, the owners of stores should acquire the corresponding
    permission. `This issue is regulated by `Armauthor', which already
    possesses agreements with many local and foreign companies', she said,
    noting that no one has turned to them to receive the corresponding
    permission so far.
