It is funny how some USA's ignorants proudly like to be as ridiculous as pathetic.
You are one of them.
FYI the EU sued Microsoft after a complaint from another USA's company, Sun Microsystems, then by RealNetworks, mainly because anti-trust justice in USA seems as corrupted as inept in regulating trusts, which is however a prerogative to have a real competition and thus a -really- free market.

"Patent law is crazy."
USA's Patent law on software is crazy.
Thank you europe for being less stupid.

We all hate proprietary formats, thus it is nice move from Microsoft, they have also sorted out the lame legal proceedings from Adobe over PDF in Office 2007, good point.
Since a few months they even actually listen to their clients and users requests (IE7, Vista beta 2...), and they earn a little more respect from me for this.

AllofMP3.com? hmm, ty for the link. ^^P
Joke apart, "free" music? yep, free music (teknival and free parties sounds/public domain classical...) is the point, i am sticking at it for near a decade.
The music industry and its majors is a mafia, illegal agreements on the CD price, "heavy-rotation" fascistic conditioning and auto-promotion with the help of their TV/radio networks, "newbie artist -must buy- of the year" talent-less charts. Them and their "producers" have stolen, copied as much that they have a head in advance to be qualified as crooks.
Artists (real ones) MUST screw them, and come back to the golden age of music, where talent and mouth-to-ear were the vectors of the music sales, and that the mainstream media were talking of these artists because that were the audience/people wishes, not those of a crappy producer/label/major.
To get back on topic, of course AllofMP3.com seems to make a living from its piracy, and as every criminal organisation, they must be sued.
"Russian law says it's not illegal, so compete or step aside."
I don't know if it is legal in Russia -i highly doubt of this- and if they actually pay for some copyrights/licenses within Russia, but as soon as the sale is made outside Russia that is becoming illegal because they do not pay for that and don't sell abroad at legal owner's wished price in others countries, which depends on the standard of living of each country. Competition is irrelevant in such case, otherwise everybody would buy a license in/for the poorer country in the world, and sale from there the product to Japan or USA's happy customers... which would be just an illegal and international dumping.

Yep, they have some nice hi-res aerial views for england, but just try out elsewhere, e.g. Paris, France.
Let's hope that the best pictures will be made available by all these services, that will start to be annoying to be forced to switch between them to get the best resolution for every country.
