....and I purchase the song in Russia, in Roubles, on a Russian server.
They then post it to me in electronic form down my internet
connection. The transaction definitely takes place in Russia and thus
is a legal purchase.
You can only argue that importing it into this country is illegal -
rather like if you bought a gun legally in the US and had it shipped
to this country. However given importing music has a long and glorious
tradition that predates the internet I would say that the importation
of music tracks is perfectly legal.
