The problem for the music industry is that allofmp3 does appear to be operating legally within Russia. That means the industry can't touch allofmp3 directly. However I'm sure both Mastercard and Visa have realised it is only a matter of time before some sharp-suited shyster working for one of the record labels decides to try to drag them through the courts in the US for aiding and abetting activity that's illegal in the US. I expect this is a pre-emptive move on the part of the card companies.
