Cheap MP3s? iTunes & Walmart: Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid!

There seems to be a lot of raving lately about the Russian music site that is offering all sorts of high quality MP3 downloads at $.01-.02 per megabyte. YES, you read that right! For a while there was some concern that they may just be building up information for a big fraud attack, but now they're accepting paypal payments, so the only information you're giving up is your email address.

How is this legal you may ask? As far as I understand, it's completely legal within the confines of Russian law. How that affects us here in the US in using the site, I'm not sure. It seems like a gray area of international law that I'm not qualified to answer.
