Copyright ruling against biggest and most popular Russian e-library
“A Moscow court has found Maxim Moshkov, owner of the biggest and most popular Russian on-line library, lib.ru, guilty of breaching copyright law. The court ordered Moshkov to pay a 3,000-ruble ($107.7) fine to the plaintiff, writer Eduard Gevorkyan.” - Moscow News, via war systems.
The TeleRead take: We’re pleased that Warsystems picked up TeleBlog contributor Quinn Anya Carey’s fascinating interview with Maxim Moshkov. No copyright suit from us! He’s appealing the ruling, by the way. Meanwhile best of luck to Maxim, who’s appealing. Update, 6:22 p.m. It appears someone was catching up with trackbacks. This is months-old news.

I was surprised to see that article too, except if you look carefully at the date, it’s pretty old news– from April 2005.

Oh, well, better late than never. The date is in TINY type. Thanks for the catch, Quinn. Someone’s having fun catching up with trackbacks or whatever.

Any updates on the appeal?

Same thing I’m wondering, Bob; excellent question. Over to you, Quinn. Can you check with Maxim? Thanks! - David
Update: Quinn’s doing exactly that. Thanks, Quinn!

sorry for the confusion, i use warsystems as a repository for news-clippings. However Quinn’s interview is definitely fascinating, and i am indebted for it.
