News of Intellectual Property23.04.2004 - World - Reuters Russian Video Piracy Finances Terrorism - Minister Fri Apr 16, 1:46 PM ET Add World - Reuters to My Yahoo! MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia's huge illegal software and music market is financing terrorism, Russia's science minister said Friday. Market stalls and kiosks across Russia sell pirated software, compact discs and videos -- often selling films long before they open in Russian cinemas. Industry estimates say around three-quarters of the Russian market is illegal. "In buying a pirated disc, a person is not only breaking the law of property and is financing not only crooks," Science Minister Andrei Fursenko told President Vladimir Putin (news - web sites). He is financing "via the back door the economy which leads to terrorism." |
