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”.
