According to BBX, the IFPI's (International Federation of the Phonographic Industries) legal actions against the Russian web site AllofMP3.com have failed. The current copyright law of Russia does not currently involve digitally distributed media at all, so therefore AllofMP3.com didn't actually break a law. According to the source, the IFPI is not giving up yet.
"We have received no confirmation of any decision and we do not expect it for some time," a spokeswoman for the IFPI said.Source: BBC
"However if it is true that the prosecutor has not taken the case this would be very disappointing considering the blatant and large-scale infringement that continues to take place.
"If these reports are confirmed we will take the case further."
