Has anyone noticed recently how Russia is clamping down on file-sharing and such? Often in very extreme draconian ways.
I was wondering why does the Russian government give a shit about copyright infringement, most of the content being infringed upon is not made in Russia, so in a way infringement means less imports for them.
I'm not usually a conspiracy nut but I genuinely think they are using piracy as a scapegoat so they can just clamp down in general and establish a more totalitarian regieme. They are also clamping down on gay people, feminists etc.
