AllofMP3.com: US legal action is 'imprudent'

AllofMP3, the controversial Russian website which sells music tracks for mere fractions of the Western sticker price, responded this week to the fact that it faces an American lawsuit (as reported previously here on Techblog).

The service, which has been the source of huge wrangles already, calls the case 'imprudent' in an entry on its blog:

AllofMP3 understands that several US record label companies filed a lawsuit against Mediaservices in New York. This suit is unjustified as AllofMP3.com does not operate in New York. Certainly the labels are free to file any suit they wish, despite knowing full well that AllofMP3.com operates legally in Russia.

We've discussed AllofMP3 several times in the past - but even if record labels and musicians feel justified in trying to shut the site down, it still remains murky as to where legal action could possibly go.
