Someone emailed this link to me the other day and I have been unable to get the english version to work.

There is a common misperception that Russia has no copyright laws, which is totally false. One might surmise equally, that because no stringent international agreement exists protecting copyright infringement -- either bilaterally or multilaterally -- which includes the U.S. and Russia; and similarly, because U.S. copyright laws do not bear upon Russian domestic law, that you can use this site and that it's legitimate.

Common sense question: Do you think these guys are honestly reimbursing the recording co's?

Think about this: Apple is adamant that they lose money on iTunes.

All I can say is "caveat emptor".
