Spot the Pirate!

But wait! Who's ripping off what, here? There's one Russian product that's regarded universally as the best, and is equally universally copied and reproduced, sans license, of course, even by the US military.

Read the tale of the ubiquitous AK47.

The bazaar in this industrial city shows why Western companies regard Russia as a land of piracy.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
