Just outside of Moscow, there’s a market where you can buy pirate music and video of any description — that’s illegal in Russia, but don’t worry about it, the cops don’t care. At least, they didn’t, until the hawkers started including pirate databases cracked from government computers (CDs with the home address and phone number of every government employee, for example). Since buying and selling databases — regardless of source — is legal in Russia, the cops are using the bootleg music as an excuse to get the databases off the street. Link Discuss
