Oh what a beautiful spin meister you are.

ROFLMAO

& Russia just thought of all this by itself & said "I know let's
introduce some IPR laws which have nothing to do with keeping the US happy"

e.g.

http://www.ip-watch.org/weblog/index.php?p=116&res=1024_ff&print=0

"According to Russia’s lead negotiator on WTO accession, Maxim
Medvedkov, his government is being asked by the United States bilaterally
to commit to provide more protections for intellectual property rights than
it must do in acceding to the WTO. He stressed that Russia agrees with and
is fulfilling all intellectual property rights terms of the WTO. But he
said the talks are related and proceeding simultaneously."

"But some countries, especially the United States, who have recognised
the advance of technology and other issues that make it necessary to
develop new levels of protection for their intellectual property, are
pushing at the bilateral level to get countries to exceed TRIPS. This
appears to be the case with Russia.

"

Oh dear me ...the Russian CJS just does it's job which is to enforce the
laws laid down. Those laws are being dictated wrt IPR by the US & The
US position is driven by the US IP cartel of which your employer is a major
part/funder.



Nice attempt at a wriggle though.

Why complain to the monkey? The IP Cartel is driving the US gov which is
then pushing the Russian gov. It's the organ grinder's fault the monkey
dances.

It's not theft nor is it rape nor genocide nor murder. It is copyright infringement.
