In the meantime, the Russian give-away websites continue to happily violate copyright laws to their heart's content.  And no one can do anything about it.  Except, perhaps, to say "That's terrible!".

That's because the local authorities (in this case, the Russian gov't) can't be arsed to enforce the copyright laws. A lot of countries are like that.
As a banknote collector, I NEVER buy anything from an eBay auction originating in China because if it comes from there, there's a 90% chance it's counterfeit, because China's government never bothers to enforce the laws against it.
Same holds true for software piracy in Russia.
