To be precise, the new law legalises the pirating of software and multimedia content owned by companies based in “unfriendly nations”.
The new pro-piracy law is likely a response to the numerous sanction that have been imposed upon Belarus, more recently because of its support of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. For that matter, Lukashenko declared that the piracy law an acceptable crutch to help lift the country’s economy against said embargoes, which have clearly kneecapped it.
Second, if rightsholders do not come forward to claim whatever money has been earned by the Belarus government within the three-year period, the latter keeps all of it. The twist here is that even if the government does inform rightsholders of their fund amount, there is the touchy subject of sanctions; because of them, the NPA’s state-run bank, Belarusbank, cannot easily conduct business with western nations.
