Unless the operator of allofmp3.com has substantial assets in the United
States (and one suspects this is unlikely) just what is the point of suing
them in New York? Smacks of desperation to me ...

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Several major record labels sued the operator of the
Russian music Web site AllofMP3.com, claiming the company has been
profiting by selling copies of music without their permission. The lawsuit
was filed Wednesday in federal court in New York against Moscow-based
Mediaservices, which owns AllofMP3 and another music site, allTunes.com.

A slate of major record labels, including Arista Records LLC, Warner Bros.
Records Inc., Capitol Records Inc. and UMG Recordings Inc., are behind the
lawsuit.
