Someone should explain to Herr Kommisar Minister Gref that the MPAA, RIAA, and IFPI are NOT law enforcement agencies like the KGB, CIA, and FBI.

“above all, salesmen, should be brought to justice for the ‘intentional sale of stolen things’.”

Hmmm sounds like the riaa’s business model if you ask me.

Sign a bunch of young naive kids up as the next big thing, ensure the contract states that you not the band owns any music created, demand they produce 7 albums, but if the first one doesn’t sell, don’t let them make any more, and don’t let them out of the contract just in case their sound becomes “in” in a few years or they start to be popular for some other label, pay them a pittance of anything actually sold, ensuring to under represent the number of units sold so the band doesn’t get all of what their entitled to, oh yeah, and constantly whine about how p2p is “destroying” the industry and “hurting artists” etc etc etc etc etc.

Sounds like stealing to me guys. So, when ya gonna stop it?

The fact that the Russian copyright laws are bound to change is not all that new.

In this interview from november 18, 2004 the change is already mentioned: http://www.museekster.com/mp3searchinterview.htm

Hans: There have been a few publications on changes in the copyright laws in Russia. What is the current situation and will these changes have an effect on you service in the near future?

Sergei: An amended legislation will come into force beginning from the 1st of September 2006. It will be obligatory for an organization on collective management of copyrights (RAO, ROMS and others) to conclude agreements with all copyright holders whose works they want to give in the Internet. We have time yet to decide how to win in this situation.

So does this mean that allofmp3.com, arguably the best music service available, will soon be quashed by the record industry? If that’s the case, we should all get some last minute purchasing in while we still can. Pay $1 per song, especially for crappy 128 kbps files? HELLS NO! I refuse to listen to anything less than alt.preset.standard (192 kbps VBR ).

In Russia, copyright laws revise you!

That goes for pretty much anywhere the RIAA can reach nowadays…
