to intercede in a computer piracy case against a Russian headteacher. The plea came in an open letter published on Mr Gorbachev's website. <br> Microsoft representatives in Russia brought the case against Alexander Ponosov, accused of running pirated software on school computers. <br> Russian President Vladimir Putin has also criticised the prosecution of Mr Ponosov, in Perm, east of Moscow. <br> Mr Gorbachev's letter, on the website run by his charitable foundation, said "many people in Russia regard this scandalous case as trumped-up, launched on the initiative of Microsoft corporation to set a precedent". <br> 'Show mercy' <br> "We have great respect for the work of Microsoft's programmers.<wbr>.. and are in no way casting doubt on the principle of punishment for intellectual property violations. <br> "However, in this case we ask you to show mercy and withdraw your complaint against Alexander Ponosov," the letter read. <br> Mr Gorbachev said that under Russian
criminal law the teacher could face "imprisonment in Siberian camps". <br> The Perm region lies in the Ural Mountains, between Moscow and Siberia. <br> Microsoft accuses the teacher of knowingly using pirated Windows software in the school and causing the company losses put at 266,000 roubles ($10,000; �5,000). <br> Mr Ponosov says he is innocent, that the software had been pre-installed and he did not know it was unlicensed when he obtained the computers. <br> At his news conference on 1 February, President Putin said investigators should "go after the distributors, not the users". <br> "It's ridiculous to just arrest a chap for using computers," he said. <br> <br> < <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/6332441.stm">http://news.<wbr>bbc.co.uk/<wbr>2/hi/europe/<wbr>6332441.stm</a> ><br> rgds,<br> <br> Alex Gakuru<br> <br> ------------<wbr>---------<wbr>---------<wbr>---<br> Cheap Talk?
