Today, I was contacted by Uzbek Copyrights Agency asking me to enter an agreement with them because apparently I am violating Uzbek copyright laws because I am offering Uzbek music to public without appropriate permission from owners who are the artists. He told me that I should either get permission from his agency or take down the music on the site.

I basically told the guy that I provided disclaimer on the site that MP3 files provided on the site are for demonstration purposes only and they are the sole responsibility of the users. I carry no liability about what they will do with these files. This site is not commercial because I don’t sell this music. I just provide it so that people around the world can get familiar with Uzbek music.

I just can’t believe the level of corruption in Uzbekistan and how this supposed lawyer wants to take legal action against the site which is based out of the United States. Watch out for further developments. Below is his letter in Russian. Also note that his e-mail address is coming from gmail domain. What a joke!
