The Russian music download site allofmp3.com, which was closed last month, is set to resume “in the foreseeable future,” according to a statement posted on the site.
The site, which claims to be the largest seller of music downloads after iTunes, has been the subject of numerous lawsuits from Western record labels. However, a Moscow court has ruled the site is legal under Russian law.
Most recently Denis Kvasov, the head of Mediaservices, which owns allofmp3.com was tried for intellectual property infringement. He argued successfully that the site paid royalties to the Russian Multimedia and Internet Society (Roms) in accordance with Russian law.
