The British recording industry has been given permission to sue Russian music website allofmp3.com in the High Court.
Members of the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) want to prove the site, which offers downloads for as little as five pence, is illegal.
They were given the go-ahead to sue the company last week, and say proceedings will be issued in Russia this week.
The operators of allofmp3.com deny the recording industry’s claims that their site is not licensed to sell music.
