Will Bill Gates show clemency?

A russian middle school teacher has been charged with copyrigths violations for using illegal copies of Windows in his class room. Gorbatchev is asking Bill Gates to withdraw his complaint. Why, if the violations are established right? Because the poor guy who most certainly did not even know what he was doing was illegal (besides the fact that I guess not a lot of schools in the Ural region have enough money to buy licenses), and on top of all, the punishment would be, how to say that, disproportionate? Yeah we can say that, the teacher if convicted would be sent to a Siberian Prison Camp. Come on Microsoft Lawyers! What is your actual loss on this one?! Sincerely hope that they will withdraw their complaint and give this random school free copies of Windows, the purpose of technology should be mainly educational anyway right?!
