Russian iTunes is not far off!

To date, people in Russia do not have access to all online services from Apple. For example, in the Russian official iTunes can only listen to podcasts and, of course, buy the game in App Store. Very soon this situation will change and the range of available services is complemented by another, and the iTunes Music Store. Irrefutable proof of this is the loophole discovered some iOS users.
In order to make sure the person you need to:
- Have Russian iTunes account and of course іDevays.
- View application "Music"
- Enter in the search for any artist, for example, «Madonna» and «U2».
- Enjoy access to the iTunes Store and ruble prices.
A very nice bonus is that the prices are more than two times lower than in the US market. So one track will cost 15 p. ($ 0.47 versus $ 0.99 in the US), and the album in 99 p. (About $ 3.12 versus $ 6,99- $ 14.99 in the US).
The imminent launch dates is also indicated that one of the partners of Apple, it became known that in Russia came iTunes Eddy Cue director and director of iTunes Europe Ben E. King.
Most likely the project is now under negotiation with the copyright holders and labels. Just how soon the service will be presented depends on how soon will be able to settle all the issues. Already, its cooperation with iTunes content aggregator confirmed Rights Communications, which has rights to approximately a quarter of all Russian music catalog. Since the foreign content problems can not arise, since the right to the Apple foreign music gets on global contracts.
Such a move on the part of Apple shows the one nice thing - Russia in the eyes of the American giant ceases to be in the top piracy and is regarded as a target market that can mean the possible opening so long expected Apple Store in major cities Russia.
