"While most of the rest of the world keeps ratcheting up copyright 
laws by increasing enforcement and terms, Russian President Dmitry 
Medvedev appears to be going in the other direction. He's now 
proposing that Russia build Creative Commons-style open and free 
licenses directly into Russian copyright law. This comes just a few 
days after he also chided other G8 leaders for their antiquated views 
on copyright."

The biggest challenge of the 21st century is the irony of 
technologies of abundance in the hands of those thinking in terms of 
scarcity.
