Question:
Can Americans be sued by buying music from Russian mp3 sites?
Hi all! I have a question for whoever can answer it. I've been trying to research the Russian license that everyone is talking about. I would like to use a mp3 site like the ones that have previously been talked about, such as mp3fiesta.com, mp3city, legalsounds.com and such ... But I need to know if an American can be sued by the RIAA if using a Russian mp3 site, or any other foreign site, even if it is legal in Russia. I wouldn't want to pay money to a Russian website, and in turn still get sued by American authorities. I'd appreciate any help anyone can give. Thanks!
Answers:
As long as the Russian site has obtained a license to sell the music from the record companies, you can not be sued.
If they do not have a valid license, then yes, you can be sued for piracy.
