The disks, worth $1 million, were scattered on the ground and crushed by a steamroller at a dump site outside Moscow. The seizure, made earlier this month, equaled the number of disks confiscated all last year, officials said.
Roush is a Lawrence senior in journalism.
MOSCOW — Police destroyed 500,000 counterfeit computer disks Tuesday in an attempt to show the Russian government's commitment to combating software piracy.
"We have been gradually moving from pinpoint strikes on retail traders to operations against wholesale dealers, and this is our largest action ever," said Alexei Sidorov, an expert with the Russian Anti-Software Piracy Association, an association set up by computer companies to help police track pirates.
The public destruction was aimed at demonstrating that police are committed to the fight against pirates, who are believed to control 90 percent of the Russian software market and cost Western firms and the government hundreds of millions of dollars a year.
Authorities in Moscow seize, destroy software
Authorities say a pirated disk costs 25 cents to manufacture and is typically sold for $2. Most are manufactured in nations like Ukraine and Bulgaria and smuggled across the border, although some are produced locally.
The Associated Press
The disks — including computer games and Windows 98 software — were seized by agents posing as buyers from a Moscow-based company that police say is one of Russia's biggest pirates. The company denied owning the disks, which a court ordered destroyed.
POLice say that a lack of resources and convoluted Russian laws make it extremely hard to prosecute suspected pirates.
"Our goal is to make their life as unpleasant as we can," said a police officer with the Interior Ministry's special anti-pirate squad, who identified himself only as Alexander Yuryevich, refusing to give his last name.
