I read this a while ago and it made me laugh.

smoguzbenjamin · 2nd Jan 2007, 14:02

Fabulous

I seriously can't believe it, do they actually expect allofmp3 to pay even a fraction of that money?

Honestly

The only thing I hope is that none of the guys running the site take a trip to the US.

Arrested in the USA for an offence in Russia where it isn't an offence. The legal ramifications would be mindboggling.

This is totaly stupid, personally, i back allofmp3

If the US can manage to explain guantanamo and extraordinary renditions then they can surely explain away the illegal arrest of a pesky commie who's stealing their intellectual stuff.

saeghwin · 2nd Jan 2007, 14:58

TRILLION? Is that even legal? I bet all the music industry lobbyists are trying to get rid of the national deficit as a way to repay favors from Washington. Hah.

Its pathetic. How low can the RIAA go to scare people of downloading copyrighted material.

DXR_13KE · 2nd Jan 2007, 15:55

the GDP of Russia is $1.576 trillion..... they are suing more than the country GDP, that is insane.

smoguzbenjamin · 2nd Jan 2007, 16:06

WHAHAHA! Crikey that's funny. It's so funny I had to post again!

HugoB · 2nd Jan 2007, 16:59

rofffle

To be honest i don't think they are going to see a penny...

The RIAA will most likely loose a few million $$ from lawyer bills instead

I point you to the case of Dmitry Sklyarov.

See, if it was the other way around, the company directors would just find themselves dying of poison "in mysterious circumstances"

In many ways, the KGB are a more efficient force than the courts.

(I guess for legal reasons I should add that that may not be true)

Gravemind123 · 3rd Jan 2007, 06:48

Wow...amazing...the sad thing is that allofmp3 will be shut down if Russia joins with the rest of the world on copyright laws. I could be sued for upwards of $10 million at these rates for the music I've downloaded....that's freakin' insane! There is no way the RIAA has lost that much money from pirating! That's over 300 times the amount of money the music industry makes in a year!!! People are stupid...
