Russians finally get it right.
After years of being technologically awkward (I love the Russians I know, but let's face it, the mother country is a few years behind the rest of the globe). Anyway, they have finally come up with a solution to Music Downloads.
Essentially, users download songs based on a per megabyte usage fee (roughly 7 cents a song), and then the files are prepared in any format the user asks for it. That is to say, I could still get it in MP3 if I wanted, or AAC if I was using an iPod. Under the restriction on copyrights, it supposedly is up to the user not to use the service if prohibited locally by your local government-- which is not, according to This Article because there are not laws against importing music. of course, the whole site could be a front for the russian mob, which means, bye bye credit rating.
But in either case, it really is the future of music downloads: cheap prices and any format.
