Russia laughs in the face of the RIAA:

This filing underscores the importance that the U.S. copyright industries attach to the need for radical reform in Russia. Russia has emerged in recent years as one the world?s leading producers and exporters of pirate discs. The Russian government has failed to respond appropriately to this open lawlessness. Many of the plants currently producing pirate product are actually located on government premises ? a form of tacit government involvement that we have not witnessed since China in the mid-1990s.

I love that “Many of the plants currently producing pirate product are actually located on government premises ” makes me all fuzzy inside.
