Major record labels sue Russian website

Sony BMG Music Entertainment and three other major record companies sued Russian music website Allofmp3.com for copyright infringement, asking a judge to order the site to stop distributing songs online.

Allofmp3.com’s business “amounts to nothing more than a massive infringement,” the labels said in a complaint in New York. The Recording Industry Assn. of America sued on behalf of labels owned by companies including Warner Music Group Corp., Vivendi and EMI Group.
