'Legal okay' for
Russian MP3 site
BBC News -
E,UK
A Russian website offering MP3 tracks for sale has been cleared of breaching
copyright laws, say reports.
Last month the International Federation of the Phonographic Industries (IFPI)
urged Russian authorities to take action against AllofMP3.com.
But Moscow prosecutors will not take legal action because Russian copyright laws
do not cover digital media, according to news agency Tass.
The IFPI said it would fight the ruling if the Tass report was correct.
In a posting on its website AllofMP3 said the service was legal and that it was
licensed to sell the MP3 tracks by the Russian Multimedia and Internet Society.
But the IFPI said the site was "unlicensed to distribute our members' repertoire
inside Russia and in all major markets".
