A series of Soviet-era movies are being sold illegally on iTunes via the App Store, the BBC reports. These include titles like Assa, Gentlemen of Fortune, The Diamond Arm, Kin-dza-dza and Cheburashaka. Despite being produced under communism, both studio Mosfilm and the Joint State Film Collection are asserting copyright. Mosfilm is said to be preparing a formal claim to submit to Apple, which insists it will act when it receives a complaint.
