Any law can be abused. This is just a really clear case. It illustrates why maintaining freedom is important. The Russian Government is merely pioneering the technique that will soon be deployed all over the world (unless common sense prevails.) See upcoming post about an onerous change in US copyright law that should balance the scales as far as pointing out flaws in the US. There are commonalities and plenty of places where control is maintained in increasingly unsavory ways. Thanks for your comment, as always.

Better put your nose into your own gov't little deeds. You'll find way more entertaining things. -- tired of american idiocy: you won't be any healthier just because you think everyone else is sick Folks, drop that.
