Hi Michael and Tom,

Lawless, in a word. .ru sites are infamous for hosting hacks, cracks, phreaks, passwords, net redirects, phishing, and "free" versions of commercial software -- noticeably more prevalent than in the Americas, Oceania, or most of Europe. Given that I used to make a living off of copyrighted software; believe in the peaceful coexistence of proprietary plus open source plus truly free software together; and have professionally known a few people you think must be criminals by virtue of the fact that their total net worth was $999,999 + $n where n > 0, we come from very different perspectives on the entire matter.

Yes, and despite this, we're working together on FreeDOS! Isn't that remarkable? ;-)


well - the bulgarians have some problems understanding licensing ;)

Not all Bulgarians. Some have found "where the crayfishes spend the winter" (as we say here), like the Micro$0ft representative in Bulgaria Theodor Milev :-(


but that most criminal activity - like phishing for credit card information - is also located on russian servers (at least servers with .ru domains) doesn't exactly raise the general reputation for russian servers.

...in the eyes of the Western world.

Two different worlds, but still working together for FreeDOS - isn't that great! ;-)

Regards,
Lucho
