Leave it out.
Tell me an honest business of this size anywhere in Russia.
Talk about naive!
Russia ihas the second biggest market in the world for music piracy.
The reason they cant be closed down is as I have explained the sheer
corruption in that country.
Sending in the police is like sending in Al capone to close a brewery.
The bent Russian govt has persistently moved at a snails pace to incoporate
international treaties into domestic law.

Even by you admitting it is one of the biggest music downlad sites going is
at total variance to what the bull shit propoganda article said. It tried to
claim ''Sales to non-Russians are said to be 'insignificant' '''
Yeah righto!
It doesnt take Einstein to work out why they would say that.
As the the register article confirms the lack of payout to artisits.
I 'll say again no audit trail no transparency.

The typical selfish attitude that says stuff the artists, stuff the
copyright, stuff the producers.
You are clearly not involved in the arts and theft never bothers your
conscience.
Perhaps I should come around your gaf and steal some of your work.
Or perhaps you'd be happy to invent something , patent it, and then make it,
but never get paid for it. Worse still somelse steals it, copies it and
takes all the money for each one they sell.
Just because someone digitalised an artist/songwriter/producers work, there
still exists a copyright and it does not give you freedom to steal it.
I suggest you find out just why a copyright exists and just why your actions
are theft and killing music.
