ArsTechnica: AllofMP3.com suffered yet another setback as a Danish court ruled
that an ISP must block access to the Russian music site. The ruling
only covers one ISP (Tele2) in one country, but the ruling will
certainly set the stage for more lawsuits as the International
Federation of the Phonographic Industry believes it has developed
another successful tool in its fight against AllofMP3.
Unable to shut the site down in Russia after years of trying, the
IFPI has recently tried to cut off AllofMP3 from the other endmaking
it difficult for users to connect to the site and harder for the site
to accept international credit cards. As we reported a week ago, the
IFPI was responsible for bringing AllofMP3 to the attention of Visa,
which stopped processing payments in early September. The recording
industry has also been successful at getting its worries heard by
politicians; the US Trade Representative, for instance, has publicly
called AllofMP3 one of the most significant obstacles to Russia's bid to join the WTO.
