The UK recording industry is urging the foreign secretary to raise the issue of Russian bargain music download website allofmp3.com at the G8 summit.

The British Phonographic Industry (BPI) trade group wants Margaret Beckett to discuss the site with Russian President Vladimir Putin in St Petersburg.

The BPI is suing the website, claiming it is breaking UK law by selling music there without the necessary licence.

Allofmp3.com says it operates “in full compliance with all Russian laws”.

BPI Chairman Peter Jamieson said he had written to Mrs Beckett, asking her to “urge the Russian government to take action against the operators of the site by insisting that it is removed from the internet”.

His letter adds that “President Putin has clearly stated his commitment to protecting intellectual property rights”.

    The G8 summit is about important things like ending poverty there are anarchists and similar protesters out there taking great risks to try and ensure they practice what they preach..and what happens? The BPI try and hijack it for their own greedy purposes! OI! BPI! It’s about ending greed not perpetuating it!

    If you’d like to tweak your azureus/utorrent for the maximum download speed visit this site: http://extremebittorrent.com

    I was hit by my ISP’s throttling and could not download movies and tv episodes via azureus. after tweaking my system according to the “extreme bittorrent” guide and using their recommended softwares my speed suddenly jumped from 60-70k to 3mbps! now i can watch movies online and also download via utorrent. in fact now-a-days i prefer downloading from torrents because the speed is simply great and i don’t have to wait for more than 15-25 minutes for a 700 mb movie. trust me once you read this quick guide nothing will be the same again.

    just download that guide from http://extremebittorrent.com make changes to the system and watch your movies and music albums come rushing to you!
