I used to sell a lot of shareware software, priced around $15. For Russians it was much cheaper: 200 RUR, sent by postal mail transfer to my grandma who still lived in Russia. She got a small stream of income from it (negligible by USA standards), to augment the laughable pension.

What an absolutely awesome idea! Sacrificing a (probably negligible from a western perspective) income stream to help your grandmother and help your countrymen simultaneously. Plus, avoids fees from sending money back to your grandmother; and any dollar that middleman remittance companies don't get is a net positive for the world.
