"I don't see Russia entering the WTO with sites like Allofmp3.com up and running."

The popular Russian digital download website AllofMp3.com's acquittal isn't sitting too well with the U.S. government.

Should Allofmp3.com reappear, as the controversial online music store has promised, it likely will doom its country's chances of joining the World Trade Organization this year.

"We remain committed to helping Russia make it into the WTO," said Sean Spicer, a spokesman for the U.S. Trade Representative, the group that negotiates International trade agreements on behalf of the nation. "In order to make that happen though, they have to honor the commitments that they've made especially in the area of intellectual property rights."

If that wasn't clear enough, Spicer was more direct here: "I don't see Russia entering the WTO with sites like Allofmp3.com up and running."

And it looks like there is still a future for AllOfMP3, even after all of the talk about the WTO. That being said, there are more than 15 alternative Russian websites out there like AllOfMP3 - check www.songboom.com for a list and reviews of each of them.
