Hi, Demoneyezs, and welcome!
Is it legal in the US? Well, the RIAA, in all its press releases, says absolutely not. In fact, just for asking this question, the RIAA is tracking you down and plans to sue your grandmother.
But the funny thing is, there is no US federal law specifically addressing the question of
buying music (as opposed to P2P "illegally" downloading music) from a company that is based in a foreign country. Likewise, there has been nobody arrested or sued in the USA for getting music from a Russian music site; hence, there's no case law about this. In short, what the RIAA is spouting is, so far, nothing more than theory. Now, I am not a lawyer (bulls**t, bulls**t, yada, yada, yada), but I prefer to think that until it's
clearly demonstrated to me that this stuff is illegal, I'm gonna keep doing it. It's the same legal logic that Bushie uses to justify warrantless wiretaps.
