The prosecutor in the case has asked the court to sentence Kvasov to three years in prison and ordered him to pay restitution to EMI, Warner and Universal in the amount of $590,000 (15 million rubles), Presseagentur reported.
Allofmp3.com closed last month after U.S. trade officials pressured Russia’s government to crack down on copyright theft. The Recording Industry Association of America had long targeted the site. The U.S. had suggested that Russia might be barred from joining the World Trade Organization unless it complied.
This is pretty messed up right here. You can’t join the WTO if you don’t follow American laws? Screw you guys, I’m going home.
