Quote: The Recording Industry of America Association is celebrating a moral victory in its worldwide crusade to stop music piracy, based on the U.S. government's demand that Russian authorities work harder to stem counterfeiting in their nation.
The RIAA issued a statement on Tuesday lauding the passage of a resolution last week by the U.S. Senate that asked Russia to work harder to fight piracy of music, software and other works of intellectual property protected by international copyright laws.
The measure was passed by the House of Representatives in November, and threatens to hinder Russia's bid to enter the World Trade Organization if the country refuses to increase its efforts to halt piracy.
