When you say "if a Russian court determines" this sounds like an insult to me. Simply check out how recently lots of people have been convicted for nothing, for a poster, a like, for jogging, for trying to get elected, for a youtube video.

I kindly ask you to stop believing that Russia is a place where unicorns shit with rainbow and courts work. No, they do not. And by not acknowledging putin's terror against us you literally deprive us of a right to become a normal country again one day.

(just in case, I didn't downvote the post above)

I am not claiming anything about the justice or fairness of Russian courts, you are reading far more into my comment than was present. This is precisely why I mentioned that the developer may be forced to agree.

From my understanding of how copyright law works, if the local court determines that who a copyright holder is, international courts are required by treaty to uphold that determination.

But it doesn't matter if the court is just or not. What matters is whether the decision is official. Now, the rest of the world doesn't have to abide by the decision, but whether or not Russian courts are corrupt (they are) they do make decisions and there is sufficient law enforcement to bring those decisions to life.

In America our courts work better, but we still have a lot of improvement. Hopefully your countrh serves as a warning to us and not as a whipping boy.
