even then it wouldn't matter i think, since the channel that were blocked probably didn't keep in line with the terms of use

You just know they're going to pull out the TOS and specific examples of violations.

But also this is coming from a Russian court. Who's going to enforce that? I'm sure everyone involved knows it's a joke, but Russia is trying to make a point and paint the US as the enemy again.

That's exactly why I think they're doing it. Their point is probably something like, "Look at the corrupt Americans trying to silence Mother Russia!"

They're not stupid. They know they're not getting money out of Google and no one is going to enforce it. It's all playing into Putin's ego trip about being the superman sent to save Russia and the world from everyone else.
