The Recording Industry Ass. of America - defender of money grabbing luddite record labels and molester of talented artists* - has decided that allofmp3.com must pay for its terrible crime of abiding by Russian copyright law.They're suing for every song downloaded from the Russian mp3 website by US citizens over a five month period this year. That's 11 million downloads. RIAA reckons that for every song downloaded - for roughly $1 - damages of $150 000 can be sought. That's $1.65 trillion in total, or to put it another way, roughly as much as the estimated GDP of Russia.
