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. A blog reader has noted that the situation has gone from bad to worse as the site is now owned by a Russian download service offering up thousands of MP3 files it says are legal for nine cents each. Bear in mind, there are thousands of CDs sitting in Canadian stores today encouraging people to visit keepmusiccoming.com.

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.
