If you need Linux/Mac/Windows interoperability then we recommend NTFS for both Linux and Mac users. Instead of the old NTFS kernel driver you may want to check our open source NTFS-3G. It has read/write, and tons of options: http://www.tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g-advanced/
Whereas a license from the copyright holder can be acquired by russian authorities for worldwide distribution (google for "Santiago Treaty"), the license from the industry must be acquired for each country from which the service is accesible.
What loophole? To me that sounds exactly like the "loophole" media industry is hitting consumers with stupid DRMs and subpoenas to p2p users. Consider it a balance.
Seriously, I've been using the site for a year or so. Their catalogue covers stuff that is not found in iTunes or other US-based media industry's services. They have even rare stuff that is not on P2P services! This little russian shop enriches culture.
Allofmp3 gives you noncompressed downloads, ogg downloads, mp3 in any bitrate you want. No DRM at all. Quick downloads. Now that's something I call customer choice and quality service. Compare that to the louse bitrate of iTunes - 128.
Why is this innovative shop against the "law?" Is this something analogous to the Sklyarov case where US media laws were extended to russia? Why the hell should we be locked into iTunes et al? Whose law was it anyway?
FSF has said they will later publish some statistics from 'GPL compliance lab' like a number of GPL infringement cases they have so far settled out of courts. I guess there must be plenty of them already all over the world. For some unknown reason they have already given more GPL enforcement information in their _proprietary_ seminar tagged for hunders of bucks... free as in freedom, not as in...
Gray should go out and present his ideas here: http://www.j-walk.com/other/conf/
I mean what the hell does it make difference to have no-spam laws in the state of California. We've had them all over Europe for ages and what I've seen is the # of nigerians, viagras and the likes continues to rise faster than dot-com stocks ever did...
Just wonder what MS thinks of Kazaa, Gnutella & others. Perhaps they should also provide some service which selects the music according to user profile or offer even some sort of "added value" to the basic idea of downloaded music. Files with expiration date won't do it - what if the internal clock of my PC gets confused etc. Experience tells me MS can't anticipate every possible consumer error behavior.

Interesting. However, "Santiago Treaty" doesn't return anything meaningful. Can you manually link the doc you referred to?

Fellow P2P users reply: Dr. Jones. Again we see there is nothing you can possess which I cannot take away.
