Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a new law that will enable pirate mirror, proxy and other derivative sites to be blocked quickly by ISPs. Sites will be approved for blocking by the government and the local telecoms watchdog, and ISPs will be given 24 hours to block all access. Search engines will also be compelled to remove all variants from results.

    No, on second thought, maybe someone here actually knows some of these details, so I'll save a trip.

    Duh, hey! We have this global communication network called the internet. Why not use a Russian proxy in Russia to browse pirate sites and see what is blocked.

    Kickstarter, right? It's not your money. Make the trip, and drink some vodka. Not some old stale vodka that sat in a ship's hold for several weeks. You'll get to drink it like the Russians drink it, fresh out of the distillery.
