unlinQ also sells allTunes vouchers (unlinQ - Order) in exchange for USD cash (sometimes its easier to exchange local currency to USD at a giro than to find an inexpensive way to purchase USD-denominated money order), E-gold and eCache digital currencies. WM G/Z coming soon.

No idea. It is interesting to note that it was only registered on 17 July, by (or through, although the fact that name = organization suggests it's actually the individual in question) someone in Russia. I googled for Andrew Eremchuk, but he appears to be unknown.

Hi koenfucius

The email address for that domain record is VELICHK@YANDEX.RU

Searching on that leads to
http://hubpages.com/profile/velichk (click on Latest Hubs)
http://bluedot.us/users/velichk

Googling for allinurl: VELICHK gives 30 or so hits, many of which are recently created personal pages that mention Russian music sites.

Fair points, Nightfly.

For me at least, solaris' post raises the questions "What is mp3sparks.us?" - and "Why is it there?".

All this information is in the public domain. That may be a bit scary, and it may be a bit voyeuristic, but really it's no different from googling for "goldfish". And he'll be grateful for anyone looking at his blogs.

The answer to those questions seems to me to be that the owner of this domain is Just Some Guy who has gone on a wild spree of blogging about the Russian sites.

And that raises another question. Is it worth someone who is good at that sort of thing writing to him and asking him to link to these forums in his blogs?

Just my 2p-worth.

Because if it is on the web, it is fair game. It is up to an individual to make sure that something he or she does not want me to see does not find its way onto the internet. It is not in any way incumbent on me to not look. I want to know who this guy is and why he has set up this blog. Don't I have a right to know that? I think I do.
