In the wake of recent publications regarding the obligations that Russia took up to enter WTO and in particular the obligation to shut down illegal websites, AllofMP3 has issued a statement.

We support Russia in its decision to join WTO and hope that this step will help to put an end to Cold War phobias and that it will also help to facilitate world trade and to adjust business standards especially in the intellectual property domain.

Russia has undertaken obligations to take certain measures to shut down illegal websites. AllofMP3.com has been listed as an example.

We believe it’s a misunderstanding arising from biased misleading information presented to the WTO negotiation teams from Russia and USA.

AllofMP3.com operates in full compliance with Russian laws which has been confirmed by well-known law firms.

In this regard, we believe that the site cannot be forced to cease its activities due to Russia’s entry to WTO unless Russian legislation undergoes significant changes.
