Sure. As I already mentioned, copying digital propetries is bad from the legal point of view. But it *can* be good from social, humanistic point of view. Because people are enjoyng best social networking experience and they don't have to wait will somebody in their local country or area will reinvent the wheel but with some other design, for instance. This is not true innovation, of course. It's all about brining some concept to mass and flattening the learning curve. Yura,

I am not uptodate to the laws in Russia, though, but I think they are going to be improved this way. Copying working community models, great. Copying designs and code, not so great. While scraping is a form of flattery, building something your own, 10 times better, is preferred.
