The fight of Roskomnadzor with mirrors pirate sites yet ends in favor of pirates primarily due to the possibility of creating multi-domain like “123.pirate-site.ru.” For example by the decision of the Ministry of communications from 23.01.2018 website newmirror.live recognized as a copy of the web-site kino.pub, which recognized pirated. As a result, the owners of the resource created a multi-domain that operates freely at the moment (the site is available with any set of characters in the sub-domain).

The second-level domain should be blocked such way so its sub-domains will also be inaccessible, — said Alexey Byrdin, Director of the Association “Internet video” and a member of the expert Council of “Fund of Cinema”

The law introducing a simplified procedure for blocking “mirrors” of sites that host pirated materials, adopted in the third reading in the summer of 2017. The law introduces the concept of “derivative website on the Internet” (“mirror” site). To block such a “mirror”, it will be enough to have a court order and will not need to hold a court session, but this document was not enough to block the multi-domains.
