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