Is all of these russian MP3 istes legal to use in the UK? The tracks seem so cheap.
I also worry as I have read people that have had bad experiences with payments.

Hi thedoguk, and welcome to the forum

That's a good question, and it's been much discussed here. I think on the balance of probabilities that it is legal to import this music into the UK and the US for personal, non-commercial use. The music industry would say otherwise, of course. No-one will really know for certain unless there is ever a court case about it.

As for payments, I don't believe that dealing with these sites is any more risky than with UK or US sites. I certainly have no concerns about doing business with them; although it would be prudent to avoid Mp3Sugar just now

These are, of course, just my opinions. Have a read through some of the relevant threads here, and then you must decide for yourself.

I agree with gluteus maximus on this - and please note that these Russian/Ukrainian music stores use internationally renowned and accepted payment processors, so YOUR money never pass through THEIR hands

And welcome to the forum

That's for you to decide!

We gave you answers,sorry you did not like them.
Read more on the subjects under Forum legalities.

No one is going to give you a definitive answer.
If that's what you are really looking for ?????????

[thedoguk]

But I don't get why.
If I ask "is iTunes legal?" you would reply "yes"

I am guessing by what you say, that these sites are illegal then.

Definitely not if you do your homework each site has a legal clause and tells you how royalties and the specific legalities of your country.

And when people repond to your questions a THankyou is in order..
even if its not a answer you like....

This is my last response to you for such a reason, and you can believe whatever you want.
