REVIEW OF LEGAL REGULATION OF AUDIOVISUAL SERVICES IN RUSSIA

Abstract

This scientific research provides an extensive overview of the legal regulation of audiovisual services in Russia. In light of the rapid development of online cinemas and increased interest in audiovisual content, a number of questions arise regarding their legal operation. Developing against a backdrop of technological change and sociocultural transformation, audiovisual services are faced with the need to comply with complex regulatory requirements. The purpose of the work is to analyze and systematize regulations, identify key court decisions and identify trends in the development of legislation in this area. The research is carried out using methods of analysis of regulations, judicial practice, as well as a review of academic sources. The work identified key issues affecting the legal status of audiovisual services, such as restrictions on foreign ownership, content requirements and licensing conditions. The results of the study allow us to conclude that it is difficult to balance between stimulating the development of domestic audiovisual services and ensuring compliance with laws. Inconsistencies in existing control mechanisms were discovered, and the need for further improvement of legislation for effective regulation of this sector was emphasized.
