April 21, 2012 at 18:14Ukrainian MPs want to close any site without trial in 7 days
The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine plans to consider in a second reading a bill that will allow closing any Internet resource without a court decision.
If this bill is adopted, financial and legal sanctions can be presented to any Ukrainian provider in order to control Internet space during the election campaign in the Verkhovna Rada.
“If the project is adopted, the current majority ( in fact, this is the Party of Regions in the Rada - approx. ) Will gain control over the Internet information space, as well as its commercial resources,” the deputy notes. In particular, the bill provides for the possibility of termination of the Internet resource with the assistance of providers.
The most dangerous innovation for citizens stipulated by the project is to introduce the procedure for the destruction of Internet resources within seven days without a court decision, only signed by a middle-ranking official.
Technologically, it will look like this. The subject of copyright or related rights (applicant), for real or far-fetched reasons, calls on the provider to stop the use of such rights by the hypothetical"Violator" (and it can be any resource on the Internet), while submitting a set of documents to justify such a "violation". For example, agreements on ownership of rights. “In this case, the provider must notify the“ violator ”of the need to eliminate the violation within two days. For example, supposedly “pirated” content. And if he continues to place the disputed intellectual property or does not provide an explanatory document for the next two business days, the provider must block access to them or delete them. And if it is technically impossible - to limit or even stop providing services to the “violator”. In other words, block access to his site, ”explained the people's deputy Lesya Orobets.

PS From the author of the news: pay attention: the participation of the court or even the prosecutor’s office is not visible - they wrote a letter from the executive committee to the provider, and kirdyk. Explain your actions by itself is not required. It is only later that the owner of the resource will run around the courts and try to open the resource.

Who owns the question, please unsubscribe in comments about whether it is possible to divide / block domain names in Ukraine in these situations:
1) if the domain name is Ukrainian (for example .com.ua), but it is registered in some way not with the Ukrainian registrar
2) if the domain name is not in the Ukrainian zone (.net for example), but is registered with the Ukrainian registrar.
