Court aquits allofmp3.com site owner

Venik writes: "The head of MediaServices — the parent company of AllOfMP3.com music download service — was cleared of copyright infringement charges by the Russian court. A spokesman for the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, representing the plaintiffs in the case (EMI Group Plc, NBC Universal and Time Warner Inc.) said they will appeal the court's ruling. Since the closing of the main allofmp3.com site last month, MediaServices has established another music download service — www.mp3sparks.com."
