UK court OKs AllofMP3.com suit

UK court OKs AllofMP3.com suit
by JIM WELTE
MP3.com, publication date: 5 July 2006
"AllofMP3.com exists in a quasi-legal state, whereby it charges users for downloads, but sells those downloads for as little as $1 for a full album. The site does not charge by song, but by volume, charging users 2 cents per megabyte.

Site owner MediaServices claims that the service pays the Russian groups responsible for managing royalties, but the music industry has said that those licenses would not apply to users outside of Russia."
