The draft law No. 3474 “On Amending Certain Legislative Acts of Ukraine to Cancel the Marking of Copies of Audiovisual Products, Phonograms, Videograms, Computer Software, Databases with Control Marks” cancels the ineffective system of marking copies of audiovisual products, phonograms, videograms, computer software, databases with control marks, declaring the Law of Ukraine “On Distribution of Copies of Audiovisual Products, Phonograms, Videograms, Computer Software, Databases” no longer valid.
The draft law also removes from the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses Article 164-9 “Illegal Distribution of Copies of Audiovisual Products, Phonograms, Videograms, Computer Software, Databases,” and from the Criminal Code, Article 216 “Illegal Production, Forging, Use or Sale of Illegally Produced, Received of Forged Control Marks.”
