AllOfMP3 Boss Acquitted
I bet the record companies will be squawking now…
A Russian court on Wednesday acquitted the former boss of music download Web site www.allofmp3.com of breaching copyright in a case seen as a key test of Russia’s commitment to fighting piracy.
The allofmp3.com Web site angered Western music companies by offering downloads far cheaper than the market price in deals they said breached copyright law.
Denis Kvasov, head of the company which owned the site, was put on trial after entertainment companies EMI Group Plc, NBC Universal and Time Warner Inc. pressed for a prosecution.
“The prosecution did not succeed in presenting persuasive evidence of his involvement in infringing copyright law,” said the judge Yekaterina Sharapova.
Does this mean allofmp3.com will be back sometime soon?
