Ukraine Tries to Avoid U.S. Trade Restrictions

GMFTatsujin writes: "In response to the threat of US trade sanctions, the Ukraine parliament hastily passed an anti-piracy bill aimed at reducing the bootlegged CD problem. I especially liked this quote from this Wired article: '"We are deeply disappointed that Ukraine has not passed an effective law and instead is rushing through an ineffective law," said Eric Schwartz, vice president and special counsel of the International Intellectual Property Alliance." This is a follow-up to our story of two weeks ago about Ukraine not complying with U.S. demands for 'an optical media licensing regime.'

I am probably going to lose karma for posting off topic, but oh well.

Trolls are not censored on slashdot. they are modded down. Their input, such as it is, remains a part of the discussion. But people who don't want to see it can chose to browse at 0 or 1. Anyone who likes the trolls, they can read at -1. Just like I do.
