FatBabies correspondent FatCosmonaut went searching for pirate versions of various popular games in the software stands of the former Soviet Union. He found hundreds of thousands of copies of Warcraft III, and two copies of Marrowind. He sees piracy as a result of stupid business decisions:
Our industry is extremely international these days and we should begin to understand that it is in all of our best interests to understand how Intellectual Property law works in these foreign lands so that we can best manage our properties and rights within them.Presumedly all these games should have been popular and pirated, but some had made the right kind of deal to protect their interests. So he's written up all you need to know to prevent piracy of your games in Russia.
Someone's gotta say it, so it might as well be me: In Soviet Russia games pirate YOU!
