Nope, they're moving servers, according to the notice in the upper-right corner.

Moving them... to AVOID INTERNATIONAL LAWSUITS! HAAAA HAAAA HAAAA haaaa... wait, it's Russia, they don't have money. Or a court system. Or anything at all.

Uh. Yes they do.

Hurray for use proud north americans who have defeated the russian capitalist pigs who tried to make money off of people.

...

Somewhere, the irony fairy is laughing.

Well, capitalism is about making money, not looting it. Selling someone else's work is a form of looting.

To me, it seems to mean that the site is charging users for the service of providing a download link/access to their server, but not for the ownership or licensing of the contents they are providing. As such, it's not really violating a copyright law, but more of exploiting what can be defined as digital distribution services. According to that statement posted, they're charging users for the bandwidth and not the music. While it seems like bad business ethics, it's not a violation of copyright law.

It's as if instead of DJP covering the cost of the servers and bandwidth for OCR from ads and sponsors, he began charging the users directly to cover these costs. Technically, he isn't violating the copyright law, since he would presumably not be making profit from it nor preventing the copyright holders from earning funds. However, I can't see how this Russian site couldn't be making money from this kind of service.

In addition, OCR has an anti-third-party-distribution policy in place on the site, which means that while this Russian site isn't necessarily violating copyright law, they are violating OCR's policies about redistribution. Whether or not that constitutes legal action, I don't know.

Still, there's basic intellectual rights in this regard; regardless of whether or not you made/make profit off it, if they are selling YOUR works without YOUR permission, then you have the right to take action.

Sadly, this is not so easy in reality; and like was said before, its Russia; they're not even allowed in the WTO. That doesn't sound too good for us :?

Here's hoping the site dies a natural (or preferably a decidedly UN-natural) death. Quite possibly in the form of a random DoS attack...*whistles innocently*
