> They most I can promise is that I wouldn't try to sue anyone, but in a world where a dead author have be raised from the grave to visit the court and prove that he (or she) haven't passed the rights to some agency I couldn't claim, in good conscience, that someone else wouldn't sue you, in my name.

The US tried to pass an internet streaming law that would DEMAND you pay copyright fees in order to stream your own copyrighted works ...

Germany has a law that allows lawyers to sue on your behalf without you knowing anything about it ...

This craziness isn't restricted to Russia ...
