Gizmodo ’s favourite grey - food market MP3 provider AllofMP3.com is under probe by the Russian police on behalf of the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry of Moscow ( their RIAA ) . While AllofMP3 has evermore hold that they purchase their licenses in volume from a clearinghouse , ( Costco ? ) through the Russian Multimedia and Internet Society , now the IFPI is saying those are hardly legit . Or not legit at all . The day of 10 penny songs may be come to an destruction , at least from this wall socket .
The Moscow MP3 Police have until March 7 to decide how to act . It should be noted that AllofMP3 has always maintain that their avail is only sound in Russia , and that they do “ not keep up with the law of different countries and is not responsible the actions [ sic ] of non - Russian user , ” so all of us using the service were skate on thin legal chalk already . And I reckon Russian gray markets were known for their trustworthyness !
