it literally says "the possibility is being considered". Nothing concrete. Rutracker has been unbanned (afaik), but that's it. That doesn't mean shit about whether you can get sued, it just means the government will be more "hands-off" in regulating Western media piracy. They are still part of the WIPO and other treaties and can't not recognize other countries' IP unless they denounce those treaties, which would be stupid to do.
