None of this is directly relevant to the point of my post, which was a response to ScottC's suggestion that the RIAA has tacitly acknowledged the legality of MP3. The RIAA, as a member of IIPA, has endorsed the position that allofmp3 is not legal.

Nevertheless, note that the section of the IIPA report that I directed you to does not talk entirely about prospective reforms, as you suggest, but is instead referring to reforms that the Russian government committed to making in 1992 and implemented in part in 1996 and 2003. The concern, as it is expressed in IIPA's report, is one of enforcement.
