On May,7 Aleksandr Ponosov was
found guilty of Microsoft's copyright infringement by using unlicensed Windows copies on school PCs. The court evaluated Microsoft's loss at 266,000 rubles and sentenced Ponosov to 5,000 rubles penalty, although the company had no money claims to the convict and said it would be satisfied with his public apology. Earlier the court below shut down the case relying on its 'insignificance'. Now Ponosov has lodged another appeal against the final decision claiming he's not guilty and would fight till it's possible.
