Russian MP3 site given thumbs up by investigators


Last month I
wrote about the questionable legality of the Russian site, allofmp3.com, which sells non-DRM'd songs for about twenty cents apiece. Today the BBC reports that Moscow prosecutors who looked into the matter say they "will not take legal action because Russian copyright laws do not cover digital media." The International Federation of the Phonographic Industries is displeased with the decision. Link (Thanks, Raanan!)
