So as I was browsing my latest news feeds on my Bloglines RSS feeder, I came across an interesting story from Slashdot. The story is short, so I'll post it here...........

utki writes "The Moscow Times is reporting that the chief software architect at Russian software developer Cognitive Technologies, Andrei Smirnov, recently won a boxing match organized between himself and a software pirate he caught selling bootlegged software CD's at a Moscow market. At last, a practical and entertaining model for dealing with software piracy (MPAA and RIAA take note), and perhaps a useful way to channel Steve Ballmer's aggression too."
Now, I know this is a discussion, but ALL i REALLY want YOU all TO know, Is that in times as volitile as this, long drawn out court processes should no longer be a hold-up for due-process. As an American, I believe that we should have the right to challange someone to a boxing match if they STOLE something that belonged to us. Be it stolen software, TIME, money, LABOR, goods, PROPERTY...let the person who was ripped off be given the decision, if they choose, to solve the problem with a boxing-match. Let the ticket money sales go to the challanger.
Any other thoughts on the matter???
