Record companies have been complaining for years about AllOfMP3.com, a music download site based in Russia -- and AllOfMP3.com has counterclaimed that its service is legal under Russian law. Now the labels have launched a law suit in New York, according to an AP report.
The lawsuit was filed in federal court in New York against Moscow-based Mediaservices, which owns AllofMP3 and another music site, allTunes.com.
A slate of major record labels, including Arista Records LLC, Warner Bros. Records Inc., Capitol Records Inc. and UMG Recordings Inc., are behind the lawsuit.
As the story points out, the British Phonographic Industry has already launched a suit in the UK.
