Lets see now. The Russian fellow was in a position of some authority and he
didn't know that he was doing wrong by installing programs all over the
place - without paying for them.

Somehow I can bring myself to feel sorry for the predicament he got himself
into.

Not even if you take into account that he was probably only doing it because
he didn't have enough funding to provide the equipment he needed to provide
an education to the children under his care...?
 
Lets do this again.

Stealing is ok then? Just a short time ago people got excellent
educations without the help of computers.

Microsoft already gives students, teachers and educational
institutions very special deals. Maybe if the guy wrote to Microsoft
and asked for help, he might have even gotten some free computers.

Maybe he thought it was fair use like photocopying books and magazines
which is legal if you do it for your class.

At 62 years old - I don't think so. And if I did, and got caught, I would
expect the consequences that I received.

Every effect has a cause. Effect - Go to jail. Cause - caught stealing.
Seems equitable to me.

....of course the 'Siberian prison' may in reality be an elite FSB
linux-based training camp, which would change things slightly ;-)

Not really a very sensible point. There are very few jobs these days where
having at least basic computer skills is not helpful if not essential.

No, I'm not saying stealing is Ok...
Just saying ripping off a few copies of Windows (or whatever) to help
educate children is hardly in the same league as commercial or corporate
pirating. I imagine the guy was just trying to provide a better education
for his pupils under very limited funding, I hardly think it is crime worth
of being sent to prison for. Can you honestly say you think he should??

Do MS education deals extend to Russia anyway?

Please provide proof to back up your assertion. Where is it illegal in
Russia to have a contract dispute with MS?
