Remember CSS? They did the same, didn't they? Information has become power, and power has become something to deny people. I am just waiting for Google and Yahoo! to get dragged into court for linking to things like this. Wouldn't it be sweet to see someone with serious $$$ beat the snot out of an idiotic law? (Not that I think the allofmp3 company is without blame here....) Yep. Remember CSS? They did the same, didn’t they? Information has become power, and power has become something to deny people.

I am just waiting for Google and Yahoo! to get dragged into court for linking to things like this.

Wouldn’t it be sweet to see someone with serious $$$ beat the snot out of an idiotic law? (Not that I think the allofmp3 company is without blame here….)

NO way to stop them over the net though. That being said, I'm not aware of Russian legal systems, etc, but I know many countries look to similar economies when deciding unknown questions, and precidents often get quoted across the civilized world in "new areas" of law. So, the dominoes start to fall... they get faster as they do. They can (try to, anyway) stop them from doing business in Germany… at least from a legal storefront.

They can't get to Allofmp3 so now Big Music is getting German sites that link to Allofmp3. What a childish thing to do. What is the next step? Attacking sites that provide P2P information? Jon beware! This is stupid. They can’t get to Allofmp3 so now Big Music is getting German sites that link to Allofmp3. What a childish thing to do.

Who gives a flying fig what a German court says about a RUSSIAN company, whose activity is not prohibited by the RUSSIAN authorities. Can't that company go tell them to just take a long walk off a short pier? Does it mean the German authorities have the ability to prohibit access to funds of german customers to the russian company, essentially reducing the freedom german consumers should expect when purchasing something from the internet? Is that possible? I can't see it as a particularly popular decision with German voters..just in case some german legislators who want to get elected again needs votes from voters who feel their rights are being stripped away at the behest of a slimy bunch of coporate music scum.
