AllOfMp3 Owner Acquitted
August 15, 2007 |
(Via CNN) A Russian court today acquitted the owner of AllOfMp3.com today. Apparently, the infamous company was working within the legal framework, as much as the music industry disliked it:
Kvasov always said he was within the law because the site paid part of its income to ROMS, a Russian organisation which collects and distributes fees for copyright holders.
The judge agreed with his defence.
“Everybody who uses soundtracks has to pay a certain amount of their income to the rights holders and this company has done that,” she said. “MediaServices has paid a certain amount of money to ROMS.”
The company is now doing business under mp3sparks.com.
