Re: Not a big deal..tons of other sites just like it. Okay Captain Hyperbole...
Buying some songs from a Russian website that is cheaper than overpriced American crap is equated to robbing banks and murder how?
Face it you're grabbing for straws....
Most people that are going to steal music aren't going to purchase it anyway, regardless of whether it's 99 cents or 2 cents a track. So most people buying from this site are thinking it's legal, at least that's what I gather from folks that have used it.
For the most part this is a case of supply and demand economics and price wars. A foreigner is offering a cheaper price for a better product (much like the Japanese cars/electronics of decades past), so naturally people flock to it. To say people that use the site are all of dubious character invalidates any statements you have against this business model. Besides, if you need to compete you need to come up with a competitive business model, not try to shut down the competition through government regulation, in my opinion at least.
