International Music Rights Owners Set The Record Straight On Allofmp3.com
Organisations representing the legitimate music sector worldwide have rejected as "spurious" the claims of Russian-based website Allofmp3.com to being a legal and licensed service. Bodies representing authors, composers, music publishers and record companies internationally and in Russia point to the following: Allofmp3.com sells and distributes hundreds of thousands of songs by international and local artists without having any legitimate licence to do so It claims to be licensed by a Russian-based society ROMS, but ROMS has no mandate from international rights owners to licence the site in or outside Russia and was expelled by CISAC, the organisation representing copyright societies worldwide, in 2004. Under the copyright laws of virtually every country in the world, including Russia, it is illegal to distribute recordings without the permission of the rights owners. John Kennedy, Chairman and CEO of IFPI says "Allofmp3.com summoned the world's media to specifically address the issue of their legality - but all they did was duck the questions time and again. This only confirms the illegal status of this rogue site both within Russia and across the world. Allofmp3.com's claims to legality are false and spurious. It is totally irrelevant even if ROMS, which was expelled from CISAC, claims to have approached the record companies and offered them money. I could approach Bill Gates and offer to buy Microsoft for one dollar - but I'd get very short shrift. "Allofmp3.com and ROMS clearly have no intention of respecting copyright laws and paying rights owners."
