I would say the parallels are quite striking --

In both cases, a person/company performed acts that are 100% legal in
the jurisdiction of the country they reside in. And in both cases they
were subject to penalties (civil or criminal) by American laws due to
the strong-arming of corporate interests.

Let me phrase my original question differently -- if the Russian
government decided that the iTunes music store was violating Russian
copyright laws by selling music (since they don't pay into the Russian
copyright system and ASCAP and BMI don't deal with Russian artists),
and then they tried to pressure MC/Visa to stop accepting orders from
iTunes -- would you feel any different?
