    The most basic law has stood up for copyright
works - the Copyright Act (Article 146):

    -Unlawful use or appropriation of object known AP
(Eg sales, distribution, substitution of copyrights and the 
like in other people's programs) shall be punished (maximum): a 
fine of up to 400 minimum wages, or imprisonment for up to 2 
years. 

    A special chapter in the Criminal Code (Chapter 28), the 
thesis is Crimes field of computer information (mostly care 
about integrity of computer networks):


    -St.272 penetration into the network for illicit
copying, damage, modification of information shall be punished
max. 500 minimalok fine or imprisonment for up to 2 years. Then
same, but a group of persons on a prior agreement, or
with the use of official position max. fine 800
minimalok or imprisonment up to 5 years.

    St.273-creation programs, or changes in
current, obviously leading to unauthorized
copying, blocking, destruction, modification information,
as well as their use and distribution of max. punishable
imprisonment for up to 3 years plus a fine of up to 500 
minimalok. The same, but entailed heavy consequences - up to 7 
years. 

    Well, actually, and all I wanted to tell you,
read the new Criminal Code.
