Cheap, Legal Music Downloads... form Russia?
The Register are reporting that a Russian company are selling DRM free music downloads with licence fees paid to the Russian record labels. There was also a discussion about the legality of this service on slashdot.
Both pieces are based on an article written by Charles Wright for the Sydney Morning Herald.
The service (called allofMP3) works by charging by MB downloaded instead of the per-track model favoured by other services. I should point out that the legality of downloading tracks from this site anywhere outside Russia is unknown. I'm going to dig further and maybe give it a try.
