p2pnet.net news:- Russian school teacher Alexander Ponosov thought he was out from under after having been accused of “criminally” using Microsoft product.

A Russian court threw the case out, calling it “trivial,” and Russian president Vladimir Putin said those who make “pirate” goods should be targeted, not consumers, calling the trial “utter nonsense”.

Now the BBCA Russian court has ordered a retrial, “after pressure from the prosecution”.

However, Ponosov has now launched a web site, a p2pnet reader.

It’s in Russian but if any Russian speakers feel like summarizing any of the content, we’ll be glad to post it on p2pnet.

Click here for Ponosov’s blog.

Stay tuned.

Slashdot it!

Tired of being treated like a criminal? They depend on you, not the other way around. Don’t buy their ‘product’. Do bug your local politicians. Use emails, snail-mail, phone calls, faxes, IM, stop them in the street, blog. And if you’re into organizing, organize petitions, organize demonstrations and then turn up on your local political rep’s doorstep, making sure you’ve contacted your local tv/radio station/newspaper in advance. Don’t just complain. Do something!
