yes, we tried that yesterday, same story. you pay $20 but then you
can't download anything, cuz its all unavailable yet! perhaps their
idea is to collect $20 from everyone and then to run away. i received
the info about that site from SolarX, who discovered his albums
there, but of course he didnt know anything about the site. i then
found a lot of other releases, and checked with all my friends,
including Pietro De Sacco - no one was ever contacted by this
jetgroove regarding mp3 sales. from the beginning i had a feeling
that this is something to do with russians (unfortunately) , as the
website is very similar in look to many illegal mp3 sites in Russia,
+ i've found the admin name which is Russian , and their address is a
russian law firm in London! of course its possible that they used
that address only for registration. but also i've found the name of
the actual owner, also Russian!
if they think that opening the same ILLEGAL site in the UK will work
just the same as in Russia, they're wrong.
