Music download Where

- Is this legal? IRMA claim it's not!

Actually you're correct - as far as I know it is illegal in spite of whole industrries being built around it. As far as I know there is no fair use legislation that guarantees that ripping your own CDs to MP3 for your own use is legal. Odd but that's the way it is.

I would imagine that the website in question does not have permission to sell the copyright material in question, and it is illegal to download material without permission of the copyright owner?

I'm open to correction on that point.

I don't know if this is what you mean. But the website claims:

Legal Info: All the materials in the LegalSounds.com music service are available for distribution via Internet according to license ЛС-3М-05-09 of the Russian Multimedia and Internet Society. Under the license agreement, LegalMedia pays license fees for all the materials subject to the Law of the Russian Federation "On Copyright and Related Rights". All the materials are available solely for personal use. Further distribution, resale or broadcasting is prohibited.

Russian materials in Russain Music Collection of LegalSounds.com music service are available for distribution via Internet according to license agreement with OOO "Kontent i pravo"

Whether this is legit, I have no idea.

One of those Russian sites was closed down several weeks ago but I read last week that the owner was acquitted in a Russian Court-now I see it is to re-open http://www.allofmp3.ru/press.shtml
