Why is this even an issue? Their IP address does not need to be in Russia. The RIAA and music industry are the real losers. They lost in 1998, when they decided it would be appropriate to continue charging $25 for a stinkin CD. If music CDs were more reasonably priced, at around 3 to 7 dollars, instead of TWENTY OR THIRTY DOLLARS, none of this would be an issue.
