Russia is grappling with a wave of sanctions from around the world. The Kremlin is allegedly looking for a different way out of this chaos.
After Russia's invasion of Ukraine, countries and big companies impose sanctions on Russia and the Russian society in order to stop the human tragedy. Faced with a huge sanction frenzy, the Kremlin is preparing to try an interesting method as a counter move.
Russia prepares to legalize software piracy
Russia, which is subject to sanctions from all over the world, continues to seek new ways to prevent economic collapse. The Kremlin has chosen a much talked about method as a step to keep businesses and government afloat. Allegedly, Russia chose to legalize software piracy.
In a published report, allegedly, Russia came up with the idea of effectively revoking legal penalties for people using certain types of pirated software. In order to reduce the victimization of Russian citizens, the Kremlin will resort to software hackers to continue using western-sourced technology.
This idea, which sounds crazy, is stated to be a strategic decision taken by the Russian Ministry of Economic Development. Although not named in the article, it targets many technological organizations that impose sanctions. It is already a matter of curiosity how the Kremlin's move to "capture" IP will be responded to by technology companies.
Among those imposing sanctions on Russia are Apple, Microsoft, Samsung and many other important companies. Of course, the war environment is to the detriment of these companies, as it is to Russia. However, companies state that they have taken these sanctions decisions temporarily. The only condition for the lifting of the embargoes is to stop the war environment. Russia's counter move has already been a matter of curiosity.
