I did not say that piracy is dead in Russia: 30-50%? common .... I bet is even more.
I'm from a country neighbouring Hungary, so we know what we are talking about in the East: on games, is over 80-90% -at least here. On software - not so high, as companies are buying legit OS/applications.
What I don't like is that Starforce developers or their friends are using illegal methods (mafia-like) to discourage dissent among legit users - see UBI forum case, death threats and all - but I will not clutter the forum with this
