"The production of Russian weapons in eastern Europe without licenses
causes direct damage to the country's economy and interests, a first deputy
prime minister said Friday.

"It is not a secret that such production is carried out in a number of
eastern European countries, including NATO members," Sergei Ivanov
said adding that the illegal production should be stopped.

He said this is "intellectual piracy," adding that these
countries supply Russian weapons to world markets at dumping prices.

"Despite our appeals to these countries, we have received no
reasonable answer," he said.

Russia says it suffers major losses from the counterfeit manufacture of
Kalashnikov assault rifles in Bulgaria. The armies of 47 countries use the
AK-47 assault rifle, known as the Kalashnikov after its designer, Mikhail
Kalashnikov.

About 100 million AK-47s and modified versions are believed to circulate
around the world, but many of them are produced illegally. "

A) IP on a 60 year old design? Blimey patents must be totally nuts if
that's the case.

B) The very epitome of the means of the struggle by the masses against the
capitalist hierarchy?

ROFLMAO.


Try again dude when we've all had time to stop laughing.
