Other Russian music stores besides Allofmp3
« How good will iTunes Store AAC@256 files be? | Main | Testing of iTunes AAC@256kbit/s finished »Making hard work of IFPI and RIAA preventing piracy in Russian Federation a little bit easier here is a list of other Russian on-line music stores besides far-famed Allofmp3 operated under the same licenses from collective rights management organizations as the latter. They and their customers could be successfully alienated exactly the same way – by means of broad educational campaigns in mass media and lobbying on a state level (questioning of Russia’s participation in G8 could be a point for example). All stores listed bellow are fully accessible outside Russia and operate in collusion with Visa, MasterCard and many other international payment services. Some important details of their illegal activities are also included.
