[Ecommerce] RIAA Goes for the Max Against AllofMP3

[Jeff Williams]

All,

  I had to laugh at how absurd RIAA has become...

See:
http://www.zeropaid.com/news/8175/RIAA+sues+AllofMP3+for+$1.65+trillion
and
 http://www.slyck.com/story1368.html

"Zeropaid is reporting that as part of its ongoing lawsuit, the RIAA
will
be seeking the maximum of $150,000 per song for each of the 11 million
MP3s downloaded from the Russian AllofMP3.com between June and
October last year. This amounts to roughly $1.65 trillion, probably a
tad
more than AllofMP3 has made in its lifetime. A representative of
AllofMP3
stated: 'AllofMP3 understands that several U.S. record label companies
filed a lawsuit against Media Services in New York. This suit is
unjustified
as AllofMP3 does not operate in New York.  Certainly the labels are free

to file any suit they wish, despite knowing full well that AllofMP3
operates
legally in Russia. In the mean time,  AllofMP3 plans to continue to
operate
legally and comply with all Russian laws.'"

Regards,
