A "peaceful" legal settlement was reached at a Moscow court between state-owned media holding firm All-Russia State Television and Radio Company (VGTRK) and Internet site Mail.ru, Vesti.ru reported Monday. VGTRK sued Mail.ru last month for violating copyright laws, after the site's users posted the company's rights-protected video clips online.

According to the court hearing, the agreement does not include any financial compensation to VGTRK and all negotiations are considered final. Both sides refused to comment in order to retain the confidentiality of the matter, according to Vesti.ru.

Full-length VGTRK-owned films were uploaded on Mail.ru, according to sources from the Internet industry, Vesti.ru reported.

However, the site defended itself by saying that it does not have the technical capabilities needed to control each user's actions or to authenticate a video clip's author.
