Now this is fun, a URL formerly used by the Canadian Recording Industry Association to educate consumers about legal alternatives to illegitimate sources of music online has apparently been taken over by a rather dodgy looking Russian based download company which is offering major artist downloads for 9 cents each. It seems the CRIA didn't renew the http://www.keepmusiccoming.com web address after it ended its educational campaign - though the URL will still appear on the packaging of numerous CDs originally released while the campaign was running.
The Moscow based service which has since nabbed the web address is a bit like the previously reported allofmp3.com, a download company that has some license agreements in its home country so presents itself as a legitimate concern, but which nevertheless pisses off the International Federation Of The Phonographic Industry which questions the legitimacy of its so called licenses, and which doesn't approve of the services' radical cost cutting approach. Quite what the IFPI, CRIA et al can do about such services remains unclear, but presumably promoting their web address on a stack of official releases isn't part of any strategy to tackle the problem.
