Action ''30 kopecks for Nikita Mikhalkov'' is gaining popularity in Russian blogosphere.
      
      The action is opposed to the Russian Rightholders Association founded by film director Nikita Mikhalkov as an organization that will be entitled to collect charges from importers of data carriers and electronics and distribute the money among authors.
      
      The point is that the Association has suggested allocating only 15 percent of profit to right owners. 25 per cent will be spent on upkeep of the executive personnel of the organization, and 60 per cent will go to the fund established specially for this purpose. The situation has caused objections by many of Russian art workers.
      
      Bloggers urge to send Nikita Mikhalkov a CD bearing some legal content, such as for example, personal photos, plus six 5 kopeck coins.
