The US blocks websites that violate copyright law, because it's seen as important for US business to do so. Different countries may have different priorities on what they censor, but all do censor. How is this different?

Economics vs speech. The US sends people to jail if they break laws with regards to the economy (if you're on the wrong side of the status quo), whereas Russia sends people to jail if they philosophically disagree with the status quo.
