I recently blogged about CRIA's failure to renew keepmusiccoming.com, which it used as part of its "educational" campaign to convince users to stop downloading.

…Then again, this is from an organization when if you “dot COM” instead of “dot CA” you land in a pack of alpacas! Seems this website thing has never been a priority there…
legality of music downloads in russia
If I understand things properly, russian copyright law is very lax (when it comes to MP3s), so the claims of the website are likely to be (mostly) true, if you live in russia.
