NewsRussian download site shut downRussian download site Allofmp3.com has been shut down. The service, which sold songs at a fraction of the cost of the other sites, claimed to be the second biggest seller of music downloads after iTunes. The site has been the subject of several lawsuits from UK and US record labels that claimed it violated copyright law, reports BBC News. The site's owners MediaServices maintained the site was legal under Russian law, and has subsequently set up a new service called mp3Sparks.com. The closure of the original site has been welcomed by the record industry. The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry chairman John Kennedy said: "Allofmp3.com violated copyright law in Russia and internationally by ripping off artists and creators, taking music that it had no right to reproduce and selling it worldwide. If this is the end of allofmp3.com this is good news." Numerous lawsuits were started against the site's owners MediaServices, and the Russian government have come under criticism for its apparent lack of action against the site. In 2006 a lawsuit was filed on behalf of Arista Records, Warner Bros, Capitol and UMG recordings. They said they were selling songs without permission. Under increased pressure Moscow finally signed an agreement in October last year to shut down the site. Foxy Brown's alleged attacker goes free The woman who allegedly attacked and robbed Foxy Brown last weekend has been released from jail after Brown failed to show up in court. Roshawn Anthony, 23, reportedly robbed Brown of her Louis Vuitton bag, $500 and credit cards in an incident on June 23. Police arrested Anthony and she was jailed on $50,000 bail, but Brown said the attack never happened. The rapper, whose real name is Inga Marchand told the New York Post that it was a case of mistaken identity, yet police later verified that it was indeed Brown who was attacked. Brown has had several run-ins with the law lately, two of which related to violent incidents at beauty parlours in New York and Florida. Anthony is due to appear again in court on August 9. |
