Aleksandr Strakh, legal expert on the protection of Microsoft Corporation's intellectual property in Russia and the CIS, assumes that the company may reach an amicable settlement with Aleksandr Ponosov, the infamous school principal in the village of Sepych. Aleksandr Ponosov has been taken to court following a revelation that PCs used in his school's computer class ran on unlicensed Microsoft software. Investigators claim that the director could not produce license labels and installation CDs to prove that the software is licensed. The new wording of Article 146 of the Criminal Code, under which Ponosov has been prosecuted, makes it impossible for the company to close the case by dropping its claims against the school principal, while formerly a statement from the plaintiff could serve this purpose. Aleksandr Ponosov faces 5 years behind bars in addition to having to pay 260,000 rubles ($9,650) in damages.

Several torrent trackers have simultaneously stopped working in Tomsk. The forum community in Tomsk has attributed the closures to a possible operation to combat distribution of pirated software and multimedia content. The Interior Department in Tomsk region has denied there is an operation underway and refused to comment on whether it may have anything to do with the closures. Meanwhile, it has become known that usage of p2p channels among Tomsk ISPs has dropped 4 to 5 times. This leads one to believe that the possible reason behind the closures may be attempts to curb excessive traffic. Vadim Andrianov, creator of the Already in Tomsk website, believes that since the website torrents.tomsk.ru continues to respond to ping requests and serves existing downloads, this rules out the possibility of its hardware having been seized by the Department K. In a similar incident with the website EliteTorrents.org, the site administrator was sentenced to 5 months behind bars and 5 months of house arrest along with a $3,000 fine for illegally distributing movies, music, and software.

In an unprecedented ruling, the municipal court of Abakan ordered the website New Focus to register as a media outlet in order to resume its operation. Observers fear that this precedent might be used by other courts to justify closure of other network resources, even though such registration is still voluntary. Justice Svetlana Shapovalova handed down this ruling despite a date error exposed in the investigation materials, as a result of which the case had to be dismissed under the statute of limitations. The lawyer of New Focus chief editor Mikhail Afanasyev said she would appeal the ruling with the Supreme Court of the Republic of Khakassia.

In December, street stalls with pirated CDs started selling a digital database of addresses, telephones, and personal details of high-ranking clients of Moscow prostitutes, along with police materials of high-profile criminal cases and tapped telephone conversations. The database contains details of some 90,000 individuals and has a price tag of 1,500 rubles ($55). At least 1,000 CDs with the database are said to have been released. Yet some experts have questioned the fact that the Moscow police may be the source of the leak. Many believe this might be a mere publicity stunt by pirates seeking to rev up sales of other databases containing private information of Russian citizens.
