Russian CD's

[Dave]

I just emailed MTM Music in regards to these Russian pressings of their releases and they have told me that they are licensed out to Art Music in Russia and are legal but Art Music are not allowed to export these releases.

I let them know that these copies are slowly starting to flood ebay but MTM are saying there is not much they can do about it but the sellers of these CD's and Art Music should be notified that what they are doing is illegal.

Do you really think they would give a shit ???

You would think MTM or any other label for that matter would take this up with the companies they give the license to but i suppose they are still getting their cut of the money and thats all that matters to them.

I believe Art Music doesnt have to do anything with this. It is all 3-rd Russian parties that buy from them legally within Russia and then export in bulk to the eBay powersellers elsewhere. For instance if you go to the official Irond, or Soyuz websites you cannot purchase their licensed CDs outside the designated region and they wont even bother reply to your inquiery, but there are plenty other russian online stores that gladly will ship to anyplace.

 

MTM can at least try shutting down the sellers that repeatedly sell this stuff in bulk. It is their responsibility after all.

Actually, i take some of what i said back because Mario from MTM Music has now got back to me on several occasions and has actually shown alot of concern in regards to this matter and also wanted alot of details in regards to this seller and where they were shipped from.

So to Mario and MTM , i thank you for your offer and concern and your willingness to look further into this.
