"technically AllOfMP3 does obey the law-Russian law. It pays the standard 15% Russian licensing fee that applies to online music to ROM, the Russian Organization for Multimedia & digital systems. ROM is the Russian equivalent of the RIAA, and according to their website they are "...the national Russian organization providing professional collective management of authors’ property rights and protection of interests of rights holders in cases of use of their works in digital interactive networks, including the Internet." But, unfortunately for AllOfMP3 the RIAA doesn't recognize ROM's legitimacy" - Afreyt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Bwahahahahaha! (Yes I know, I'm not adding much to the conversation)... but seriously Bwahahahahahahaha!!!
The amount spent by the RIAA in negotiating the waters of international law will likely exceed anything they can expect to get from the Russian company, the owners of which are probably already enjoying Mai-Tais in Turks and Caicos under assumed identities. I applaud our new, poorer RIAA overlords. - OnAnyMouse, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Let them win. They can then fork over the 1.65 trillion, which combined with the $1 trillion that China is planning to dump into the US Economy, we can pay off the national debt.
