Funny thing is, Germans did exactly this with shredded Stazi archives. Later on, they even developed some kind of scanning software that matches edges of tiny shreds of paper to OCR it.
It's two rather attractive topless women, embraced by a bald lucky bastard. I cant see much controversy here, except that this is not really work-safe and definitely not what a typicall Linux hacker looks and acts like.

Bullshit. There's a lot of Russian-produced software in widespread use in Russia.
For one, it's 1C, which is country's most popular ERP system. The software is quite good (I am qualified to say that as an ERP project manager with 10 years experience), has ~50% of market share, and supported by a vast network of partners. It's not pirated that much, not because it's difficult to find, but simply because
a) it's reasonably priced and
b) usually you need support from vendor or its partners with these types of applications.
So, the 1C company is doing very well financially, as well as many others.
>> Profitable industries and large conglomerates
>>suffer from insane amounts of inertia.
Suffer they do not - they enjoy it, and try to extend it by any means possible, as this allows them to keep thir profits.
- And for how long have you been suffering from those erotic nightmares?
- Suffering? Oh no, I enjoy them very much!

First you'll have to show us that copyright infringement is immoral.
