What's the punishment for copyright violation and piracy in Azerbaijan?

The strongest punishment for copyright violation and piracy in Azerbaijan is three years of custodial restraint.

We make proposals for changing legislation concerning the struggle against the piracy”, Director of the Copyright Agency Kamran Imanov said. He said hardening the punishments was not so important, the main issue is to form the culture of intellectual struggle.

A draft law on protection of copyright is elaborated now. It will meet European standards. Imanov said legislation on hardening struggle against the piracy is also expected to be exacerbated.
