President Dmitry Medvedev will send proposals on Internet regulations to G8 partners in a few weeks after issuing a number of instructions following his meeting with representatives of the Internet community Thursday.
The proposals should be worked out after their discussion within the professional community and with foreign partners, presidential aide Arkady Dvorkovich said.
"The main topics for discussion are to broaden the opportunities for authors and to rule out the responsibility of users not distributing the content in violation of the copyright interests. These subjects were raised by the Russian president, including at the G8 summit a few days ago," Dvorkovich said.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
