The STV TVC-channel chose to ignore the copyright law.

Minsk TV channel STV has shown Hazeta Slonimskaya’s video without permission and without indicating the source. It was a video about a stork living on the roof of Slonim Annunciation Nunnery, Euroradio reports.

The article Stork Settles Down On The Roof Of Orthodox Church was published on the website of Hazeta Slonimskaya on June 19. Then it was shown in the programme News 24 Hours at 4.30 p.m. on June 21. The TV channel replaced the audio stream.

It means that copyright is being ignored on a national scale, Hazeta Slonomskaya journalist told BAJ. Editor-in-chief of Hazeta Slonimskaya Victar Valadashchuk has not decided whether to go to court yet.
