Since 2025, the so-called \"anti-piracy\" amendments to the legislation<\/strong>aimed at combating the illegal distribution of content and increasing the transparency of the advertising market. The main idea is to deprive pirate sites of a source of income<\/strong> - advertising funds.<\/p>\n

\n

The essence of the changes<\/h2>\n

From now on:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    Advertisers, agencies and intermediaries<\/strong> are obliged to check which platforms their advertising is placed on.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    It is forbidden to cooperate<\/strong> with web resources that distribute pirated content - movies, music, books, software, TV programs.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    All chain participants are responsible<\/strong>even if the client did not explicitly request placement on a pirated site.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Thus, the state effectively blocks the financing of illegal platforms through advertising budgets.<\/p>\n

    \n

    How will pirate sites be identified?<\/h2>\n

    It is planned to create an official list of offending resources<\/strong>which will be updated regularly. If an advertisement is placed on a website from this list, the advertiser or the agency that provided the placement is responsible.<\/p>\n

    \n

    Fines and sanctions<\/h2>\n

    There are penalties for advertising on pirated web resources:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • \n

      Financial penalties<\/strong> for advertisers and intermediaries;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Lawsuits from rights holders<\/strong>;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Reputational losses<\/strong> for companies associated with pirated content.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      The amount of fines will depend on the circumstances of the case, but in the long run it may become a significant deterrent to violations.<\/p>\n

      \n

      What should businesses do?<\/h2>\n

      To avoid fines and reputational risks, advertisers should:<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. \n

        Check advertising platforms<\/strong> before launching campaigns.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      2. \n

        Use \"white lists\"<\/strong> of authorized resources.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      3. \n

        Fix in contracts<\/strong> with partners to ban advertising on pirated websites.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      4. \n

        Involve lawyers<\/strong> to monitor the compliance of campaigns with the new legislation.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        \n

        Implications for the market<\/h2>\n

        The adoption of these norms is intended:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • \n

          \ud83d\udccc reduction of piracy;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

        • \n

          \ud83d\udccc support for rights holders and legal media services;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

        • \n

          \ud83d\udccc formation of a civilized advertising market;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

        • \n

          \ud83d\udccc Approximation of Ukrainian norms to European standards.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          \n

          Conclusion.<\/h2>\n

          The \"anti-piracy\" legislative changes are a step towards cleansing the advertising market from cooperation with illegal resources. For business, they mean new challenges, but also opportunities: cleaner and more transparent communication channels, fewer risks and more trust from consumers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n
